Four days from Hong Kong.

Just picked up my nearly new low count, spotless Fujifilm X-E3 from a Hong Kong Seller. US version. He shipped Monday June 3. Two days to SanFrancisco, Two days to Me in Central Oregon. Already exchange feedback both ways.

Seller accepted my $500 best offer. I've tested a number of Fujifilms and a large number of Olympus PEN and OM-D up to EM-1.

So now, currently I have kept a Fujifilm X-E1, X-E2, and this X-E3. I've tested the X-A bayer sensor. Not impressed. I've tested the X-Trans, as these 3 keepers denote. Best and highest use of the X-Trans is with Capture One for editing. Some have badmouthed the X-trans vs. Bayer, but my experience is that Adobes problems (early) with processing the X-trans was Adobe not good with X-Trans.

That was resolved with Capture One, and Adobe has improved their processing of the X-Trans. If anyone tells you the bayer sensors are better than X-trans, shut them down, and use Capture One. The waxy problem with X-trans and Adobe is no longer there, but Capture ONE fixed it first.

That's fine with me as I dumped all things Adobe long ago. Even before Adobe CC (rental program, which I hear is going up again).

I am impressed with these Fujifilm offerings, particulary X Trans, although I was happy with the Fujifilm SPRO Super CCD sensors. Fujifilm S2Pro, thru S5Pro with treatment of skin tones and superior dynamic range.

I've been shooting Fujica, Fujinar, Fujinon Fujifilm and all since an early 120 Roll Film Folder, and Fujica 35, Fujica G690 120 Roll Film to GSW690, then they started their EBC and Super EBC flare resistant coating, for which I dropped Hasselblads... bodies and glass.

I immediately jumped on their digital offerings, particularly in Super EBC Coated lenses, which are superior to most other glass in the market and fairly priced to boot.

My favorite lens for single use is the Fujifilm XF 18-55 f2.8-4 Super EBC lens running at roughly $300 used and a steal at that. The primes are somewhat more expensive but a better price value per focal length than most other manufacturers.

And only 4 days from Hong Kong.

Yes, Ima Fuji Kinda Guy!!!!
