To date , my Fujifilm 'collection' has been fuelled as much by each subsequent lens , as much as the cameras .
X-Pro1 + 27 = Malaysia holiday street camera .£380 X-M1 - bargain-basement = 16-50 .£220 X-T1 - ex-dem = 18-55 £450
The X-T100 was a gift = 15-45 which is a great light weight lens for carrying around .
All variants upon my preferred range from old 35mm-around 75mm .
However , the new X-Pro2 is about extending the experience of the X-Pro1 - with the optical finder .
It's maybe not quite so indulgent as i am making e-bay sales of around £500 , helped by a gold Contax T2 which seems to be popular . Maybe the eventual outlay will be £650 - £500 = £150 , which is fine by me as the XT1 body was originally in the frame for dispersal . Letting go has proved to be as problematic as ever , but various USSR cameras are being recycled via e-bay - which has changed out of all recognition in the last 20 years !!
I don't think I am actually ' collecting ' Fujis , it kind grew from mid 2016 . I shall say one thing - no digital camera since the Leica Digilux 3 and Panasonic L1 has gelled with me - until the Fujifilm experience . It's as if it is a film style renaissance.
At 73 , I need all I can grab in the lightness , anti-arthritis , department , and the cameras have helped me through Eliza's cancer and continuing side effects and appointments . Thanks dee

The cost of the X-Pro2 entirely covered by exhausting e-bay sales with awkward buyers . It's still worth it though . Now have to tackle the Kev excess .
