Dear fellow X-E lovers,
 
with our hopes high that Fuji is actually working on an X-E3 now, I've been thinking a lot about what I would want the X-E3 to be like and for which features I am actually willing (and able) to pay. Since I've read all sorts of things about what people want ranging from "as cheap as possible" to "make it an X-T2 in rangefinder format" I decided to make a poll to collect all those opinions in a meaningful way. I am hoping that many people here (and from FR) participate so that I can generate some interesting statistics from the data. Patrick has done some polls but without a bit of background information I believe the value of those polls is quite low (sorry, Patrick ;-)
 
So, here's the link if you want to participate (it shouldn't take long):

I am planning to leave it open for about a week and then do an analysis which I will of course publish here in the forum or maybe as a guest post on FR.
If you have any comments feel free to drop them here.
 
Thank you!

According to Fuji this is a feature not a bug.
If the lens focuses too far in the distance when powered on accidentally and with a mounted lens cap, the camera shows an error message which scared some users in the past - because ofthe external focus machinism the lens hits the cap. X100/S/T is behaving that way.
That's why Fuji has changed it.
Does it answer your question of Why?

IMHO the best Fuji would be an upgrade to the X-E series, an X-E3!

For me the ultimate travel kit is a X100/s/t. I've sold my X100T to partly finance my X-Pro 2 but I dearly miss it already.
I'm going to preorder the X100F directly after announcement...
 
That said I'm currently using the X-Pro 2 with 23 f1.4 and 56f1.2 for travel.

I would also like to say thank you!
I've just boug an X-Pro2 and I'm really looking forward to the "probably longest X-Pro2 review on the web"
Although I never had an X-Pro1 I've enjoyed reading your ongoing "review".
So let it roll out!
