What to do? Pay 500 euro to repair my x100?

Ok, I did it. I told Fuji to repair the camera. So yes, I will have a too expensive x100. But browsing the internet for a few days taught me that these 'classic' x100's are not easy to find below five, six hundred euro. And than I still would have a camera of which I do not know how good it is. Sure, you get 6 months warranty at dealers like MPB, but even if I manage to sell the one I have now I would loose something like 150 euro on it.

So I end up with a camera that is something like 200/250 euro (and often even less) more than the ones for sale at MPB or Ebay. But at least I have a fully checked camera by Fuji, a new lens and viewfinder. Next to that also 6 months warranty on the camera and a year on the new parts.

If any x100 classic is worth the money they fetch nowadays (or probably even more in the future), is another question. But if this turns out to be the camera that I'm searching for the last few years, I will be happy.

And as the Greek restaurant boss always said to me when I had to pay the bill: "it's only money, mister Santifort".
