I have been hanging onto an X-E1 for a while, and made up my mind to sell it a week or two ago now that I'm shooting so much with the X100S instead. But... when it came time to list it, I just couldn't do it. Looks like I'll be selling some other stuff instead to make up for keeping it around at least a bit longer
I'm not sure exactly what the tipping point was, but I think it was the lenses that did it... mainly the 35mm f/1.4 and the 14mm f/2.8 specifically. To that end, the WCL-X100 I just picked up is going back, and I'm getting the 18mm for the X-E1 instead.
I have to admit I'm not 100% there yet with Fuji. I really feel the lack of that promised 23mm f/1.4, and the X-E1 has some annoying quirks/missing features like no minimum shutter speed setting and not allowing exposure comp + Auto-ISO in manual mode. I suspect what I really want is probably an X-Pro2 that combines the things I like on the X100S with the interchangeable lenses. But in the meantime, I'm going to run a few good primes on the X-E1, pick up the 23mm when it does finally become available, and keep on shooting
