  1. Fuji cameras just get out of the way. Everything I need (aperture, shutter, ISO, EC), readily available, and minimal distractions from things I don't.
  2. There are as many answers to this as there are photographers in the world. It's a matter of personal preference. In the analog/full-frame world, there are probably as many who prefer the 50 as the 35. When you get right down to it, the difference between 23, 28, and 35 comes down to just a few steps. You can rent all these lenses for cheap: use them for a bit and see how they feel.
  3. When I have time to really work with a shot, I tend to use the EVF. What I've found recently, though, is that when I'm having to be quick, I use the OVF almost all the time.
  4. I try not to shoot more stopped-down than f/8, but I'm sure f/11 would be perfectly acceptable for most people/uses. I would expect to see the effects of diffraction at f/16 (and I'm sure there's a good reason why they didn't include a stop at f/22). Throughout most of the aperture range, subject distance is going to have a much bigger effect on depth-of-field than aperture setting. If you want maximum depth-of-field AND performance, use hyperfocal-distance focusing with an aperture in the middle of the lens's range. Given that's it's a 23mm lens, hyperfocal distance will be usefully-close to the camera.
  5. FWIW, I've never had a problem with accidentally changing settings on my X-H1 while carrying it around, but my X100F will change settings as it bumps my waist while slung over my shoulder. The lock function (which I leave on all the time) has saved me a lot of aggravation.
  6. In really bright light, the OVF is really nice to have. I could live without it, but I'd miss it.
  7. At 16x20... maybe. It depends on the subject and how you use the lens. The F's lens is definitely at its weakest very close and wide-open. If you often shoot very close, the new lens could make a significant difference for you. If you like to use the lens wide-open, the new lens probably renders somewhat differently; sharper, but also with different bokeh and local contrast. Which you like better gets pretty subjective. Personally, the only feature the V has that I really wish the F had was the ability to simultaneously record uncropped RAW when the digital teleconverter is in use. I just shoot twice to get around it, but it would be nice... Whether those are "great advantages" is really up to you :).
  8. Never too late, but I'd expect it to be fairly expensive. I'd definitely buy one.
