Interesting idea. We're all different, and my preference would be 28mm, as Leica did with the Q. Then it's possible to in-camera crop to 50mm. It seems to me that with modern sensors, that makes more sense that carrying optical convertors.
I don't agree with in-camera crops though. A 28mm lens cropped to 50mm would look different in terms of its field of view, its depth of field, its overall 'look'. Similarly, a 50mm equivalent on a medium format camera will look different compared 50mm on a full frame camera.
I agree, in principle - although I think I'd have liked an 85mm (eq.) - especially since I have the TCL-x100 converter, and therefore already have a 50mm (eq.) f/2.0.....would have a native 50mm f/1.4 lens. And it would be weather resistant somewhat. That's all. Everything else is sweet.
Why wouldn't Fujifilm make an X100 like this as an option, sort of like the Sigma DP Quattros? I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
^ field of view of a cropped image would be 100% the same. Depth of field would be deeper (28efl 1.4 would be 18mm/1.4 is 12.86mm, so that cropped to 50mm efl would be equal to a 33mm f/2.56, or 50mm f/3.88.
As for my wish, I'm heavily debating between 35mm efl and 50mm efl. I would really like weatherproofing or even waterproofing. Image stabilisation would be welcome too. That's pretty much it for me.

Incidentally, I'm very pleased with the TCL-x100. It does a great job, and looks really good, when attached. In fact, I've never seen a picture of this combination which actually does it justice. It looks much better in the flesh (or should that be: "in the metal/glass/plastic"?).
You know what, if they offered a 50mm f/1.4 X100, and then offered converters to go 28mm f/1.4 and 90mm f/1.4, that would just be perfect. You wouldn't have to buy lenses, just those converters and you're done.
I have been tempted by the current 50mm converter but it's the f/2 that holds me back. Otherwise, I would have jumped on this ages ago.
I'm not sure I'd welcome the increased size.....
I'd also like an interchangeable grip with a beefier option.
I use it on my X70, I'd say it's OK. But it only works in JPeg on the X70, hence saving the RAW on my wish list.Has anyone extensively tested the in camera crop/resizing options in the Fuji X100F?.....
The 20 f/1.7 wouldn't be bad. But I'd prefer the current lens range with the manual zoom action like the X10/X20/X30, or even a collapsible action like the P12-32.My dream camera along similar lines would just be the Panasonic LX100 minus the zoom, with a built in version of the 20mm f1.7 lens. You could put a slightly better EVF in there too if you want, but even without it, that would be a killer camera.
Where did all the compacts with a lens closer to 40mm go? It seems like 38mm was all over the place on cheaper fixed lens rangefinders, and the closer you get to 40mm the less wide angle "feel" you have, while still retaining more frame area than a fifty.
My perfect X100 would be more of a merger between the X100 and X70. In between size, OVF/EVF, tilt LCD, add a better grip, improved AF, and a 28mm lens with the 35mm and 50mm TC (saving the original RAW).

I heard the AF was better, but I didn't think it was the same as the X-E3.Definitely looks better than what I've experienced on the m43 cameras.
Might need to rent an X100F and test it myself. I've always loved a lot of what the X100 series had to offer, but went cold on AF speed. I hear the X100F has the same AF system as the X-E3/XPro-2 has now, which is great. I'm very happy with my X-E3 performance.
Goodness me....better get a few extra photo jobs to pay for my next round of GAS. LOL
