Shot from yesterday for a clothe label mini shoot.
X100F with RoboShoot and SB 910/photo box with TTL -3 EV flash, manual exposure. Alongside I was using the D810 105G with the same flash setup. For post processing portraits I am now finding the standard Fuji profiles as excellent as they are too strong for some portraits as they tend to block the shadows. The Adobe and Camera Pro Neg Hi and Pro Neg I am now finding more subtle and better suited.

Wow - I really like this one Charles. I have been wanting to try out the X100F but have not pulled the trigger.
Thank you very much Gary I am now only learning a lot of the subtlety in RAW files can be post processed differently with a completely different look. For most shots I just love the Fuji profiles and the Jpegs are great, but there is much more in the RAW files aside from the standard profiles. Shooting alongside the D810 105G, I was looking to get a similar feel and look and this what lead me to a different way of post processing.

I think about giving up the XT-2 to get the X100F the images look that good
but cost wise I might as well keep the XT-2

Personally I would not give up the XT-2 but would opt for the X100F alongside. The X100F size/weight and how it slips in your pocket means that I take the X100F everywhere with me.
There won't be a difference in IQ other than the difference in the lens.
But I agree with Charles that the RAW has way more usability especially if you're using lighting. The jpegs tend to crush shadows a bit.

I had an X100s once and I loved it
I gave it up to get the Xe2 which became an XT1 and now a Xt2
I just love the size of the viewfinder
GAS is never ending

Elisha is right, the IQ is the same except with the difference in the lens. I find the RAW profiles in Lr CC also crush the shadows and can be difficult to recover the subtle shades. Also the profile Provia Standard I find for skies can be too turquoise for my taste depending on the lighting especially late afternoon.
