HAHAHA,  is that a Fuji in your pocket or are you happy to see me.

I see that and that is what I am talking about in my earlier post, meaning it is a question of nomenclature and how some are using the word “details’.  It is best to not get too esoteric because ...

When you guys start going down these rabbit holes I just get confused. So, in a simplistic and common sense way, doesnt more MP necessarily mean that there are more pixels to capture an image and ...

Grandbaby in a stroller. As an aside, I like sharing a nice photo of my grandkids since parents dont mind and I think it is okay to post a good looking baby.

So Fuji rumors had a post yesterday, that Fuji is “Cracking down on some retailers taking unfair advantage of the limited availability of Instax film. The significant part of the press release ...

Hahaha,  you know that you can say that in response to any comment or criticism or issue raised in any of these threads in DP Forums…last time I looked God willing the sun is gonna still come up ...

Ah first i have no ire,  just disappointment in a retailer that I have used extensively over the  years. And I expect them to conduct themselves fairly and with a certain amount of ethics. So to ...

Yes I agree with your assessment. And to close this loop…the camera is no longer listed on their site, obviously  somebody was willing to pay the premium pricing. End of story.

Actually you are totally correct because I experimented with MPB and checked out selling to them or trading in a used X100V in like new condition to see what they would pay me, and their quote was ...

Funny you mentioned the xc 35mm because I had noticed that as well when they were selling it for more than retail…just slightly more but still. And since at the time, I was using them quite often ...

JUst dont understand the responders on this thread. I do not compare any private seller to MPB. A private seller can do whatever they want and charge whatever they want and get whatever they want ...

Any store I deal with and MPB I have dealt with a lot, is in a totally different category than what any private seller does. I have said that above a couple of times. Adorama and B and H sell lots ...

What a private person does has nothing to do and should have nothing to do with a retailer who should be aware of keeping some kind of fair pricing in its selling. Using your logic, if they had a ...

Yes i am aware of supply and demand, and a private person should get whatever they can get for their item, but a brick and mortar, retailer should keep within the parameters of the actual MSRP of ...

Also, in case you are interested, I tested the marketplace with MPB if hypothetically you wanted to sell them a Fuji X100V in like new condition, their quote is $1120. So just hypothetically are ...

I have used MPB many times and found them to be totally reputable and fair in both buying and selling used gear. However, I note that they are now selling a like new  condition X100V for $1609. Of ...

Yes.  Plus. What is the focal length on the lens that is on that camera? Oh…there isnt one. yeah, you gotta buy a lens. Gee those are super cheap in the Leica world. What are people thinking?

I have the sigma 30mm on my XT5 most of the time, really seems to be a great focal length for most things. It is fast enough and certainly sharp enough for anything I do and I think even pixel ...

Yes for sure not in an enclosure, and the grizzly looked almost fake sitting there. Cute zoo for sure.
