OK! So the proposed Fujifilm IBIS camera will probably be the X-H1 not an
X-T2S. If that proves to be true, then the designation X-T2S label could be
given to an intermediate X-T(x) fitting in between the X-T2, and a future
X-T3, much as the X-E2S came between the X-E2 and the new X-E3. As with the
X-E3, I see a future X-T3 getting the Touch LCD treatment.

I also suspect that the proposed IBIS X-H1 is going to be optimized for video
to separate it from the X-Pro2, X-T2, and X-E3.

As far as IBIS goes my two Fujinon lenses which would benefit have OIS, my
wide primes are fast enough that they do not really need IBIS. With my wide
primes the only time IBIS might be beneficial, would be in extreme low light
and slow SS.

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.

I know. I also have some old Nikkor E lenses, that will transmit in the
350 -400 range if I remove the coating, because they have very few
elements. Old lenses and old digital cameras did not have all that much
UV blocking. While it will not be perfect, and I expect a lot of
distortion, The combo should be fine for photographic purposes. It is
definitely not perfect. If I want more, I can always get quartz/fluoride
lenses.

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.
