I recently bought a Fujifilm X-Pro 3 along with the XF 23mm f/2 and the XF 35mm f/2. I've only had them for a short time but I really enjoy using them. I have a Canon 1 Ds mk 3 with a wide assortment of lenses. But I wanted a camera a camera I could carry with me whenever I leave home. The X-Pro 3 is perfect for this. It's a delight to use.
