Re: Fuji TX-1 Grey Market already in USA

[YDegroot@xxxxxxx]

Now for the big issues:

1. How many grey market Fuji "Xpans" will reach the US market?

2. Are the two cameras identical in all ways?

3. Since the Fuji version costs less, will the Hassy versions come down in
price?

4. Which version will holds its value better? Or is it like: the hassy version
will holds its value, because its a Hasselblad (but everyone knows it's made
in Japan, and its a Toyota with a Lexus badge on it), andf the Fuji version
will holds its valkue ecause you won't see too many of them around outside of
Japan.

Well, an interesting issue to ponder.

Sometimes you just don't know. No one expected the otherwise excellent Contax
G1 and G2 to go down in value so badly. Its maddening when you want to trade
it in for something else.

For a panoramast like me, it makes sense to sell the Contax G and get an Xpan,
in Hassy or Fuji version. I have been told that the lenses are as good as the
Contax G1/2's. Anyone want to argue that point?

A friend of mine has the 45 and 90mm lenses and body, but asking 2500 bucks.
At least I wouldn't have to wait till march? to get one.
