Hi,

 

Based on your previous Fuji X purchases, what is the time frame you would expect to see price

drop on the X-T2, few months, half a year, a year?

 

I am not complaing about the price, Fuji put a lot into the X-T2, it is an awesome piece of technology

to own at this time.

 

My gripe is I have Amazon gift card from trade in and I'm losing even more with the added sales taxes.

 

How many months of waiting vs price drop is I guess what I am asking, ball park figures obviously.

 

Supplies could be low and demands high keeping it expensive for quite some time. The fuji x100

was like this, could not touch one for years and just forgot about it.

X-T2 will likely hold it's price for at least a year. It's the best Fujifilm camera at this point and until X-T3 is near the horizon, there isn't a reason to lower prices. Best bet is to pre-order and find a dealer with the best price to take advantage of the freebies from Fujifilm themselves.

 

Better luck with X-Pro2 as most dealers are offering better prices now.

I have to ask, what freebies are usually included if one pre-order?

Maybe I should pre-order if this is an offer in Norway as well...

 

EDIT: Just found a seller in Norway who has different buying options with the X-T2, and for any Norwegians, or anyone, who wonders, it's here:

Though, not exactly freebies...

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      By Giampaolo Masserano · Posted

      I use a TECHART ring to mount Canon EF lenses on the GFX 50S-II and 100S-II, maintaining image stabilization and autofocus. The only limitation are lenses with a small rear element diameter that make it impossible to cover medium format. Fast lenses like the EF 85/1.2L or the 100-400L, however, work great.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      I also use a Nikon to GFX Fringer and it works very well.  24mm f/1.8 vignettes so best used on 35mm mode.  50mm f/1.8 covers the entire frame very well with no issues and is a superb little lens. 105mm Sigma vignettes slightly but is perfectly usable. 300 f/4 likewise the 105.  I have a 70-200 f/20+.8 incoming to test so will report back but I'm expecting a little vignetting.  Even in 35mm mode the image is still 60MP and if you're prepared to manually crop and correct you can get 80-90 MP images.  I also have a C/Y to GFX adapter.  The 24mm Sigma Superwide vignettes strongly. Ditto 28-80 Zeiss Sonnar. 80-200 f/4 Sonnar is perfectly usable. All work fine as 35mm mode lenses.  I also have an M42 adapter which I tried with the Carl Zeiss Jena 135mm f/3.5 with good results.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      By jerryy · Posted

      Ahh, the infamous brick wall photos… 😀 According to internet lore, if the dng converter does not properly apply the corrections, you can have it apply custom profiles that should work for you. How to do that is waaaaaay outside of this comment’s scope, but there are plenty of sites listed in the search engines that step you through the processes. Best wishes.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      By Trevor R · Posted

      Jerry Thank you very much. That is extremely helpful. It seems that the camera and the lens have the latest firmware update, so it appears that the corrections should be applied automatically. The lens arrived this afternoon and I took some quick test shots, in which the correct lens information appeared in the EXIF files, so that sounds good. I used Adobe DNG converter to convert the Raw (RAF) files, and then opened the DNG files and saved them in PSD format. However, with a beautiful, clear, cloudless blue sky, there were no lines near the edges to check if distortion had been corrected. Another day I plan to photograph a brick wall. Thank you for your help.
