X-E2 + Minolta Rokkor 45mm f/2

When X-E3 was introduced I looked forward to upgrade my X-E2 asap, but the real thing was a bitter letdown for me. It lost d-pad, built-in flash, has worse EVF, worse overall build quality. I don't need joystick, don't like poor implemented touch screen, don't like size reduction. So I wait for X-E4, though already don't expect anything exciting. It will hardly be ILC x100v which I want. I was ready to buy X-Pro3 but that screen (((... so I'm sitting on the fence and meanwhile upgrading my Hi-Fi setup.

Search your manual for "PRE-AF" option. If ON camera should focus without pressing release botton.

It might be quite subjective to tell yes or no. I have no problem to use 16-55mm on my X-E2 just use shoulder strap instead of wrist one.

What a nonsense. If you are familiar with the software it take just a couple of minutes to proceed any flat raw file with basic adjustments like exposure - WB - film sims - sharpening - levels - etc - ... not a second longer then you spend on your jpegs wich are not intended to be post processed at all (it was explained millions of times already). and yes if you still want to edit jpegs in C1 it can handle it like any other imaging format. For me the most boring and time consuming part of PP is selecting those images that should be kept or deleted when you are back from photoshoot. C

I think it's easy to lose the reputation this way. We may clear some garbage in post processing but sky replacement... I'm not sure you need it.

I have been using 55-200 for several years now and I love it, however since many are expecting a new lens - XF70-300mmF4-5.6 it might make sense to wait for it. https://www.fujirumors.com/size-comparison-fujinon-xf70-300mmf4-5-6-vs-xf55-200mmf3-5-4-8-vs-xf100-400mmf4-5-5-6-vs-xc50-230mmf4-5-6-7/

You might be frustrated with hunting autofocus of 60mm macro while framing moving subjects though. It's good with stamps or coins, not sure about pigeons.

Do you have any other information like symbols/pictograms on your screen? If not press "DISP" button once or twice.

It's selling already for a while.
