When Fujifilm announced the X-E5, I was more excited than any normal person should be that my favorite Fujifilm feature – film simulations – was about to get its very own dedicated dial. When I finally got to get my hands on the X-E5 at a photography show, the camera’s mix of classic dials, metal top plate, and compact size struck me as a rather iconic design.
Yet, as happy as my hands were on the capable yet compact Fujifilm X-E5, there’s one feature that keeps me from adding the rangefinder-inspired mirrorless to my wish list: the X-E5 lacks weather seals.
