PRE-ORDER XF 16-55mmF2.8 WR: USA: BHphoto / AmazonUS / Adorama / EUROPE: wexUK / PCHstore /
BRAND NEW: FIRST LOOK at the XF 16-55mmF2.8 WR
_ _ _
This time, looking at the price, you’ll probably agree with me: Fuji IS the new Leica! 😉
At the famous store Harrods in London you can now buy an Ultra Luxury Globe-Trotter Graphite X-T1 kit. You pay $14,000 for the graphite X-T1, 23mm, 56mm, 18-55 mm, 50-140mm and iPad Air 2 (normal price $6,274). If you are considering to buy it, check out FujiUK.
For the mere mortals, there are discounts on plenty of X gear (expiring very soon, running for 2 or 3 more days at best). You pay way less than the luxury kit, but it’s said that the IQ is the same ;).

Says it also includes a Fujifilm engraved iPad Air 2, but that doesn’t make up for the $8K in accessories (and exclusivity?). Does look like a nice case, but the bag is hideous if you ask me.
With $14K to lose i’d rather have:

thanks, updated the post
don’t ya mean “leica it or not”?….
Wonder if the case has”Mug me” engraved on it to match the iPad?
The 21″ Trolley Case is £1,335, 28 and the Day Bag seems to be one of a kind (price unknown).
This is a Limited Edition of TEN. Perhaps that, and the handmade craftsmanship, account for a portion of the cost.
Oprah was reported to have wanted a $2,990 Tom Ford Jennifer Bag for $38K, so who is to say what to pay for something so rare; still I’ll spend elsewhere too.
