  1. Yes - it seems I'm not alone with the WR wish! I have and use the X100F as my EDC camera and WR would be realy helpfull!! How ever it seems also other brands neglect the WR issue in the small and compact sector! A pitty!
  2. I use it too and it gives a quite good protection from rain and eliminates mostly all direct sunlight on the lens.
  3. I use the both the WCL and TCL often for all kind of pictures. The WCL is very handy, with the TCL the camera get a bit off balance. If you buy new and if you don't realy need a leaf shutter then go for the X-E3. Fujifilm offers very nice glasses for all purposes!
  4. I think there will be first a X-pro2s with marginal improvements (may be also 4K) since Fujifilm and Panasonic put a lot of resurch efforts into a new sensor, which I believe is not yet ready. The X-pro2 after all is a good tool if you like the rangefinder system (I love it). As a outdoors man (hiking and sailing) I'd also love to see of course again weather resistant/sealed bodies for both the future x100 and the X-pro series with at least a tiltable screen (so practical), 4K video and better battery life. In body shake compensation (on the X-pro) would be a plus, faster AF as well.
  5. Yes Milandro, I have seen B&W pictures (digital and prints) from the Leica Monochrome, and they are stunning! But a Leica is out of reach for me! But thanks for replying!
  6. Well, I understand a "hacked" color sensor is not the same as a B&W sensor designed from scratch. There are many fotographers out there who shoot a lot in B&W. I'm quite sure Fujifilm is monitoring this special field (and MaxMax) of fotography very carefull. A B&W sensor should outperform any other color-sensor of the same size re. dynamic range, light sensitivity and noise. Sure for the time beeing I use my X100T for B&W and color - what else! (Ah yea - sometimes I take my old Yashica film camera out, to take some B&W's)
  7. I have a X100T (and love it) but will wait with an upgrade until the succeeder of the X100F is out. But what I'd buy immediately is a X100M-onochrome. With the superior X-Trans III sensor, this could be a blast! What do you think?
  8. I stick for the time beeing with my X100T and FZ1000 until there is something out which is a real game-changer re. results. Sure 24MP is nice to have (large prints or crops) and also all the nice things like touchscreens etc. but it can wait. The hybrid systems (foto/video) will develop further fast and may be Fujifilm brings soon a monochrome camera with its great sensor and processor, this would be a blast! A X100Monochrom!!
  9. I use a X100T and a FZ1000 and do my best to protect them from dirt, dust and rain with simple means, beeing a lot outdoors. I will certainly upgrade to the X100F or its succeeder just because I love this camera, but I'll also buy a WR (my be the comming GX9 from Panasonic or the X-T2??) unit as well. I think it is stupid not to use WR knowing you are often in the rain and dirt. Best protection and experience in this field has Pentax, but they are miserable in video.
  10. My thoughts: I have the feeling most of the camera manufacturers will have to "streamline" there range of models due to the enormeous development costs, limitted availability of sensors and strained markets. I'm also a lover of rangefinder cameras and have a X-100T (ev. soon a X-100F) but I find myself using more and more often my mobile-camera as well for documenting etc. plus a Panasonic FZ for videos (waiting for the LX200 if ever ...). This means less model varieties and less often new models, BUT more electronic upgrades! We have 3 clear sides of the trade - the expensive high end and professional side with the FF and medium formats and the consumer market which tends to shrink and my be the market for real rugged outdoor cameras. The competition DSLR's vs. mirrorless will intensify. For myself, I notice, as a amateur travel-/streetfotographer, outdoorman, trekker, bushcrafter, sailor the need of a smaller and rugged camera with at least a 3/4 sensor a moderate zoom and 4K.
  11. Thanks for the replies!
  12. Good day I have the X100T with the WCL and the TCL and would eventually buy the X100F. Question: Do the new WCL and TCL have the same glass resp. quality as the convertelenses I bought 2 years ago with the X100T? I'd love to keep them but only if there is no quality loss! Thanks for your replies.

  14. IBIS would be much more efficient! But may be it is true there could be technical limitations.
  15. 2 versions of "my" dream X100F/X101FF: Version A: Features and sensor like the X-Pro2 (incl. weather sealing). 23 mm lens f1.4 + WCL and TCL, articulated touchscreen, shakereduction (on/off). 4K or at least much better 1080 video would be nice! Version B: Same as A), but with FF X-trans; this would be a blast and a serious competitor of the Leica Q! I'd buy it immediately!
  16. For a harcore outdoor fotographer like me WR is a must. I'll keep my X100T because of the leaf shutter (would change it to a X100F WR if ever available), but if the sucesssor of the X-E2s is not WR and has better Video features I'll have to change to Panasonic GX8. A X-E3 with the new X-trans III sensor seems to be logic as well. Battery door should open when on a tripod.
  17. If you want to buy now and if you don't need a leaf-shutter for some reason, buy a X-E2s and start with the excellent 23mm f 1.4 R lens!
  18. I'm a amateur travel and street fotographer not anymore so young. Comming from Nikon FM's, Pentax, Olympus (analog), Canon, I dowsized to a Fuji X100T and a Panasonic FZ1000 (the Sony RX 10 II was at this time not out), plus my GoPro and I'd not want anything else for the time beeing. May be once a weather resistant RX 10? How ever, if you have a camera, but want a viewfinder with changable lenses, wait for the X-Pro 2.
  19. Fujifilm will have to cope. Weather resistance will become standart in this (upperclass) of APS-C sensor cameras. The Sony A7000 will be weatherresistant, so the since long awaited X-Pro2 and probably the next X100TW will be WR as well, together with of course a 24 MP sensor. I like my X-100T with its wide and tele adapters.
