Depends what lenes you have for your X-E2 and how much gear you want to carry. IMO the X100T which easily fits in a large pocket, makes you think about composition more with its fixed focal length lens. As long as you don't spend the trip wishing you had the wider or longer lens with you, you will zoom with your feet, as Robert Capa said. A great war photographer long before zooms were invented. 
Enjoy your trip.

Do you own both of these cameras or are you still considering which one to buy ?

 

Lisbon is on a river estuary, it has hills and some vast open areas in the city, so depending where you go you'll probably have the opportunity to shoot great landscapes/cityscapes besides the normal street shots. The X100T is a bit limited when it comes to wide angle, so maybe you should consider taking the X-E2 with a wide angle lens or zoom. If you already have an X100T, the 0.8x wide conversion lens could also be an option although it isn't nearly as broad as most wide angle lenses in the lineup and you could be frustrated by that missing tiny bit of width.

 

As FujiMike points out, the X100T remains more pocketable and convenient so it would definitely my main camera that I carry around my neck or in a coat pocket everywhere, but ideally I'd also have the X-E2 in a camera bag close at hand.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      By Giampaolo Masserano · Posted

      I use a TECHART ring to mount Canon EF lenses on the GFX 50S-II and 100S-II, maintaining image stabilization and autofocus. The only limitation are lenses with a small rear element diameter that make it impossible to cover medium format. Fast lenses like the EF 85/1.2L or the 100-400L, however, work great.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      I also use a Nikon to GFX Fringer and it works very well.  24mm f/1.8 vignettes so best used on 35mm mode.  50mm f/1.8 covers the entire frame very well with no issues and is a superb little lens. 105mm Sigma vignettes slightly but is perfectly usable. 300 f/4 likewise the 105.  I have a 70-200 f/20+.8 incoming to test so will report back but I'm expecting a little vignetting.  Even in 35mm mode the image is still 60MP and if you're prepared to manually crop and correct you can get 80-90 MP images.  I also have a C/Y to GFX adapter.  The 24mm Sigma Superwide vignettes strongly. Ditto 28-80 Zeiss Sonnar. 80-200 f/4 Sonnar is perfectly usable. All work fine as 35mm mode lenses.  I also have an M42 adapter which I tried with the Carl Zeiss Jena 135mm f/3.5 with good results.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      By jerryy · Posted

      Ahh, the infamous brick wall photos… 😀 According to internet lore, if the dng converter does not properly apply the corrections, you can have it apply custom profiles that should work for you. How to do that is waaaaaay outside of this comment’s scope, but there are plenty of sites listed in the search engines that step you through the processes. Best wishes.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      Jerry Thank you very much. That is extremely helpful. It seems that the camera and the lens have the latest firmware update, so it appears that the corrections should be applied automatically. The lens arrived this afternoon and I took some quick test shots, in which the correct lens information appeared in the EXIF files, so that sounds good. I used Adobe DNG converter to convert the Raw (RAF) files, and then opened the DNG files and saved them in PSD format. However, with a beautiful, clear, cloudless blue sky, there were no lines near the edges to check if distortion had been corrected. Another day I plan to photograph a brick wall. Thank you for your help.
