How many of us X-T2 users or X-Pro 2 users can fully exploit the features we already have? I would prefer to wait for for some exceptional advances!
 
Normally the new and improved sticker is a sure fire signal to something that isn't new and improved!

just checked your website, some great photographs, the bear fishing, and on the tree trunk are great captures

I completely understand that. I own it, and like it, but don't love it. I really don't understand why they didn't put a marked aperture ring on it. I'm planning on getting the 16mm for similar reasons you mentioned.

That's good to hear. I may have been hasty in suggesting that most people are turned off by it, but the main flaw I was referring to are the reports that it's soft at close focusing distances under f4. Not a problem at all for me or indeed most people, just some people on the internet aren't happy about that, you know how internet-people get....

Ok, so I know this is a discussion that constantly comes up when people talk about software for Fuji - Lightroom vs iridient and so on, but I'm not overly worried about that extra bit of sharpness from iridient (though it would be nice if Lightroom was on par). My main issue is the colours. I love Fuji colours. I love playing with the in-camera film simulations while shooting but I hate the fact that they don't carry over with the raw file. I mean, I know Lightroom has those profiles but they just aren't the same and I'm certainly not about to start shooting jpeg. It just seems like a huge gap in the Fuji ecosystem that needs filling.
 
I'd certainly pay for software that had the workflow and usability of lightroom, sharpness of Iridient and colour information that transfers from the camera...
 
 
Could this happen, or am I dreaming?

Hi everyone, first time poster here.
 
I'm an amateur landscape & wildlife photographer and have been shooting fuji for a year or two now and absolutely loving the experience. So far my 55-200 has served me well but the sad reality is that it just isn't long enough for most wildlife shots. I'm considering saving up for the 100-400 but am slightly concerned about reports of softening at the long end. I would almost certainly be using it at 300-400 for 99% of my shots so i'm curious about the likelihood of Fuji releasing any longer primes. A 300 2.8 would probably be too big for me as I do more walking around than sitting and waiting. A 300 f4 or 400 f5.6 would definitely grab my attention, especially if it worked well with TC's and incoming X-T2. 
 
I'm pretty happy with my 55-200 for now so I'm not in a rush, just interested in whether or not i'll maybe have more than one choice in near the future!
