Equipment Type: Rangefinder
Equipment Brand: Fujifilm
Equipment Model: X-Pro1 + 35mm F1.4 + other stranger things
Price (S$): From $1400
Description:
** MAIN OFFER: Hi gang, I have a Fujifilm X-Pro1 with 35mm F1.4 lens for sale. Condition is really very good. Not mint as it's been my main camera for a while but I have looked after it. I call it a 9, you make up your own mind. It will be bundled with everything that came along when I bought it and anything else I have lying around that's no longer being used. Details to be provided to interested bidders and after I've had a chance to dig around to see what I have on hand. I will check the shutter count on the weekend but it's not excessive and certainly not a concern - many years of use to go before the shutter gives up. I've never once had any trouble with this camera. It really is a charm to use and the pictures are splendid.
** REASON FOR SELLING: two reasons: (1) I recently treated myself to a Leica X2 and am basically using that nonstop now, so the X-Pro1 is sadly under utilized. (2) I'm raising $$ for my other expensive habit - a new shiny espresso machine. Oh, if you're interested in buying my current espresso machine, let me know as I'm also looking to sell that (Breville BES900 Dual Boiler, $1200 or so)
** MY PRICING PHILOSOPHY: I'm setting my "reserve" at $1400 for the camera + lens + whatever bits and pieces I have around. But I will sell to the highest offer. I will be transparent as to status. I absolutely respect reservations for viewing but only for a reasonable period of time (a couple of days). I have bought and sold and rented a few cameras and lenses through this forum over the years and I know I have probably frustrated some people by being firm on my prices. I do my research before posting and believe I have a fair idea of what is a reasonable asking price. I'm not very interested in a debate over perceived value. Life's too short to haggle. But I'm equally in no rush to sell. It just seems a shame that this fantastic camera isn't being used much.
** THE STRANGER THINGS: I also have an old Canon 30D with a Tamron 17-50 F2.8 lens and a few (3) older M42 manual lenses (2x 50mm and 1x 35mm, I think) with a EOS-M42 adapter and a whole bunch of creative filters. I just don't use any of these anymore and will gladly see them off to a new home if anyone is interested in some or all. Make a *reasonable* offer. Apart from the Tamron, the rest can be had cheaply ... just be reasonable. I'm really not likely to be bothered to haggle and arrange viewings for the smaller items alone but if you want them, I can mail them to you after payment is made (I won't sell anything in this manner that is not in good condition). I will be agreeable to a "package price" if you're keen to combine items with the Fuji and an even better price to bundle with the espresso machine too! Well, why not?! The Canon has a cracked LCD screen (though it still works) and the pop-up flash is also damaged (and does NOT work) but otherwise the camera functions very well. Obviously not one to impress the friends with though

Condition of Item: 9
Warranty Status: Assume nil
Package/Accessories/Extras:
Details to be provided to interested bidders once I've done some digging. But there's nothing too spectacular as I've not bought much else beside the basic package I got from MS Color. There is at least a new clip-on lens cap that I bought via eBay. That much I do know. Box and original receipt are unlikely but I'll look around. Who knows? But really who cares?
Additional Comments:
- Highest bidder secures the goods.
- I have two kids so I consider my time outside of work to be kinda precious and meant for them. As such, viewing is at my convenience. I stay near Boon Keng and work at Robinson Road.
- Meet my price, and I will be very happy to deliver to you.
- I know I may sound very yaya but I'm just trying to be upfront. But it's a two-way street. Be reasonable and honest and you'll find I'm pretty okay in person.
