For now I will live with my X-T2, and consider an X-E3 to replace my X-E2
as
a second body. As for the X-E2 I am considering making that a dedicated
B&W
shooter.

Do you mean a conversion, or that you would only use it for B&W. Maybe
my mind is channeled, because I am going to have my D300 converted to
infrared, and am thinking of a UV conversion.

A conversion has been a consideration. However, the only company currently
doing B&W conversions is only doing them to Fujifilm X-Pro1 bodies (that is
among the Fujifilm bodies). So for now I will just be using it for
in-camera
B&W.

These guys also do IR conversions along with their monochrome conversions,
but the Fujifilm in-camera B&W is pretty good.

Life Pixel has a good reputation. For my last conversion, I simply
pulled out the IR filter. But, that was on a P&S, that I otherwise would
just sit in a box. This time around, I am looking for faux color IR.

But why are you converting for BW only?


For now I am not converting a camera to B&W only. I am just choosing to use
what is my extra body, the X-E2, as a dedicated B&W shooter using the
Fujifilm in-camera emulations. I will still have the option to use it for
color.

The B&W converted cameras, like the Leica monochrome, have the sensor
modified by removal of the ICF/AA filter stack, standard sensor cover glass,
microlenses, and CFA (Color Filter Array). A special sensor cover glass is
added. This gives you a camera which is not dependant on color content, and
B&W results which are sharper with finer micro-contrast. Thus the B&W results
from a converted camera are going to be much better than B&W conversions from
color RAW.

Having said all of that, I have other things to spend my disposable income on
right now.


Understood. IMHO there is a beauty in BW, that cannot be achieved in
color. It is also harder to make a top notch BW, than color.
With monochrome, the all elements of composition, tonal gradations, and
of course, subject matter must be present. OTOH, color will make up for
lapses in the other areas.
