I can't tell you how many years I walked around with nothing but a 50 and 35 for my Nikon S2...and I mostly just used the 50 then

X-E1 vs. X-Pro2
X-E1 vs. X-Pro2
Ok, I bought an X-Pro1 and loved it then added X-E1.
Fell out of love with the X-Pro1 for two reasons and sold it.
- twice found I lost my -1 diopter corrected eye piece. It would just unscrew it self over some use and disappear. Unacceptable.
- couldn't focus with the OVF or tell what I focused on. Great I could frame and low light and then had to immediately check the LCD to see if I got the shot I wanted. Maybe I didn't understand how to use it effectively but with no focus feedback in the OVF I found it pretty limited.
So I'm hoping for some kind of rangefinder equivalent in a future version or a better EVF with less lag.

You have a point. There were only two options for OVF focus-lock confirmation: the audio beep or using the 3X, 10X zoom. The former is unappealing to some people and the latter takes a second or so. As of last week focus peaking makes OVF confirmation in manual focus mode via 3X zoom quicker.
An analog rangefinder would be a wonderful surprise. I think an improved EVF is much more likely.
