Originally posted by Cerebum I wondered about the meike. That is a genuine option. I have the kit zoom for the xe1 and adapters for all my k and m42 mounts but they mean it isn't pocketable. The Fuji is a bit of fun, a foray into mirror less but it will never replace Pentax, that's why its budget is low
Be careful. Be very, very careful. I went down this path two and a half years ago with just such a thought - it's only an experiment. "That Xpro 1 and 27mm is not very expensive." I said to myself. Several cameras and lenses later.........It is a very steep and rocky path you are entering upon my friend as far as your bank balance goes :-)
If it is of any help here is how I have finally rationalised my Fuji system after several experiments:-
X-E3 only used with Fuji 27mm or Meike 28mm
First X-T1 body and battery grip only used with 35mm WR f2
Second X-T1 body and battery grip only used as a 3 lens outfit of 7artisans 12mm, Vitrox 23mm and Viltrox 56mm
X-H1 only used for having experimental fun with manual lenses.
The X-E3 was a difficult decision. I nearly kept my X-E2s instead. I am still not entirely convinced I made the right choice. The rational was that the X-E3 is smaller whereas the X-E2s is not much smaller than an X-T1. The X-T1 is my favourite body of all the Fuji ones hence the reason for two of them. For me personally it has the best ergonomics and even with the battery grip attached it is still light and relatively compact. The later X-T models have grown in size and weight. I needed the X-H1 for its IBIS for long telephoto use but I am not a fan of it otherwise.
Like you, Fuji can never replace my Pentax stuff. For my planned, considered use the K1 ii is king. There is some crossover between the X-T1's and my KP and I tend to grab either depending on what mood I am in. Do I intend to shoot colour? Yes, then it will be the KP. No, B&W, then the X-T1. Not sure, I might grab either. I keep the XE3 for ultimate compactness and discretion when required. Even looking through a small dim APSC viewfinder is a nicer experience than an EVF IMO, but there are arguments for an EVF which are very sound. I find I prefer to use Pentax if I am going to use MF lenses and Fuji for AF ones. I prefer to use my K3 for close up work. I would not want to be without either system.
