I have similar observations to yours however there is something very subjective about Fuji that I cant let go. Meaning that I decided to get back into the system along my principal System which is Nikon. Literally today, I pressed buy button on a near mint xpro 1. I have decided that I will stop trying to rationalize Fuji, I will just enjoy it.
Very thoughtful video Chris. This is just a personal opinion, but I always found the fujifilm files over sharp, and flat looking also slight with a lack of character. I've owned most x-trans 16mp and 24mp sensor bodies at some point, mostly attached to the 35 f1.4 but always graduated back to my Nikon and Pentax dslr's. Just seemed to be something missing from the fujifilm files. As I say, only a personal opinion. I do still have the original x100 black limited edition with bayer original 12mp sensor, still great to this day. Thanks for the video Chris. P. S. I'd rate the pentax limited dslr lenses as top tier, they offer superb colour, and contrast, and are reasonably priced. Regards Dan.
I don't know what is wrong with me, I can't let it go. I honestly was convinced when I filmed the video that it was going but by the time I came to edit it I had already changed my mind LOL. As I mentioned in another comment on this video, I even took all the pictures to list it on eBay but just couldn't do it. Thanks for the comment.
Just get the 27mm lens?
I do like the 40mm FL but I think the 27mm would be too close to the 35mm.

I'm am at that stage myself. Thinking about some more Fuji primes so it may become more used than currently. Thanks for the comment.
Almost watched the video
Thanks I guess.
