Should I buy it? (XT-2 used for 1000$)

[q8yphotographer]

So, I was shocked to see an ad for a used XT-2 + 56mm f1.2 + 16mm f1.4 all in excellent condition for 2000$.

 

I know it seems that it's too good to be true BUT in Kuwait Fujifilm is so unpopular that a lot of people don't even know WHAT IS FUJIFILM.

 

I've contacted the guy, he sent me photos and receipts and he knows there's no aftermarket for fujifilm cameras in Kuwait and he is looking to switch to Canon.

 

The problem is that I owm both of these lenses but looking for a backup body. Was thinking of the new XE-3 but I would love to know what everyone thinks of the xt-2 instead of the xe-3 as a backup.

 

He would sell the body alone for 1000$ (warranty expired). And he doesn't know the shutter count but says that it is rarely used.

Do you know anyway to check the shutter count?

Fuji has no shutter counter accessible to the public ( if there is one it maybe only accessible to the service department) the counter can be reset so there is no way to know how many shots it has taken, but since the camera is relatively new it is unlikely that it was used above and beyond what the shutter can take.

 

I think the price is actually very good. Of course the XE3 is in the same range, but it is a different camera. Your choice.
