Brassing X100V

[Roger Solbakke]

Dear Fujifilm!
You are so good at developing cameras with retro feelings! It would be very interesting if you went a little further and made a color variant that look old like brassing. Especially for the new x100V it would have been my first choice. What do you mean? Is that a good idea?

Just FYI: the usual term for that is "brassing." Yeah, that's not all that helpful.

Thanks Doug! Better now?

Um. Just  USE the camera!

You should see what my 1978 Minolta X-E7 looks like.  It used to be a black body.  Now, it's black but mostly brass.

Eventually the camera will show it's true colors naturally.

Umm no ... I don't long for a worn down camera, and if it ends up that way anyway, I'd like it to be through my own use.

And I couldn't care less that my X-Pro1 shows white underneath the black paint instead of brass. If it annoys me, I can always cover it up with gaffer tape.
