I have been watching a Fuji X-T1 at John Lewis for about a year since the X-T2 arrived adjacent .
Intially £1300 , then £850 where it stuck for a while ... I guess that you might say that I was interested !
About 6 months ago I actually asked an assistant to slip my X-Pro battery into it to check wether it would be right for me .
I was impressed and it seemed tangible to me which is not always the situation .
Then , yesterday , Clearance - £550 . No box or charger .
It's still a substantial outlay for me , but I am comfortable with the SLR styling , and the focusing is a vast improvement over the X-Pro 1 .
A bonus is the faster , 18-55 rather than 18-50 , standard lens .
With further discounts for the display model and missing charger it was £427 .
Certainly the collector thing , as it is not 'needed' buy at 71 who cares ?!
