Silver X-Pro2?

[RSH-Photography]

Why isn't there a silver version of the X-Pro2? Why wasn't there one for the X-Pro1? The X-T2, X-T20, X-E2 and X100F come in silver versions as well as black. Has anyone ever heard of a reason why not the X-Pro2?

They made a "graphite" version. It's available at Best Buy with a 23mm f2 wr lens.

The silver X-Pro1 was a very limited edition - https://ivanjoshualoh.com/2016/06/12/silver-x-pro1/

Unfortunately, the graphite version costs hundreds of dollars more than the black X-Pro2. For other models, the price for silver and black is the same.

The X-T1 and X-T2 Silver/Graphite versions and this new X-PRO 2 Graphites have always been a couple hundred (or more) than the black version.  You are correct about the lower models like the X-E* line. Those have always had the same price for black/silver versions.  I only know because My heart was jonesing for the silver X-T1 ever since I knew it existed. My brain however told me I was an idiot for even THINKING about paying $200 more for a camera that did the same thing the black one I already owned does.

The x-pro2 graphite version is beautiful beyond words and especially pleasing to the touch. When using it, it feels like a "different" camera. Funny but true....doesn't make sense at all but I'm tempted.

Fujifilm will tell you that the process involved in making the XT2 and X-Pro2 Graphite/Silver is a modern mettarlurgical miracle involving forms of alchemy that our forefathers could only dream of, hence the slightly higher price. In fairness it is a different and seemingly more durable finish than the basic silver paint they spray on parts of the X-E and XT*0. Bear in mind the "silver" X-E2 for one is almost half plastic.

The X100 line has always carried a silver version and, from what I read at various blogs, it is preferred to the black version because silver makes the camera look more like a traditional vintage film camera. I don't believe there's anything cheap about the silver version of the X100 series. I own a X100s and it looks great (and of course works great). I think a silver version of the X-Pro2 would have a style appeal to some photographers like myself.

Black is beautiful and professional. A camera is no car nor a dress, it is a tool. If you do not like the colour; airbrushing will do.

Silver reflects the light more than black. So I do not want to see my camera in my model's eyes !

Sorry, I forgot something. I blacken all white letters of my Fuji bodies, optics and filters. I do not like to walk around with a christmas tree.

And Fuji does not pay me to show their products, so I keep low profile

What sort of paint did you use and will it hold long time?
