When (?) will we have a Fujifilm X-pro-2 “ relic” version?

This is only half serious a thread    but seen the “ aged” Leica Lenny Kravitz “ correspondent “ model + 2 dedicated aged lenses (!)   for a mere $24,500

 

 

 

 

 

 I thought that following the introduction of the X-Pro-2 ( or whatever it will be called when it comes), there would be the perfect occasion to bring on the market the first “ relic” limited-special-expensive-aged-by-hand by Fuji!

 

To tell the truth there is already the Harrods version of the X-T1 the Globe-trotter kit at the convenient price of ONLY $14,000 ( a bargain compared to Leica! because it has 4 lenses , grip, filters and an Ipad to transfer pics to ), but this isn’t an “ aged by hand model” made to simulate years and years of daily use!

Well to their credit they do give you an iPad. So there is that.

Leica doesn’t, but does sell you a “ damaged camera”

Yes, in a protective case.

It's "commemorative" cameras like this that keep Leica going, but that also make it embarrassing for anybody to actually use one. But then, I guess nobody does. Except maybe those folks who want to be seen with their Oskar Barnak 100th Anniversary edition. Wearing a Rolex is so much easier (and cheaper).

Actually I had a 60th year anniversary Rolleiflex 2.8 GX for many years. I bought it new in a shop for the same price as the normal one and used it for my work. It was a real camera, not much different from the ordinary model, aside for the reptile leather and the minimal gold trimmings, but had noting stupid done to it such as the idiotic wear marks on a new camera!
