Free official Hand Grip or Leather Case with Fuji X-T10s

Meanwhile, while doing price-checks for the upcoming “Mirrorless Price Charts”, this came up…

B&H Photo is currently running a free accessory of your choice promotion on the Fuji X-T10 kits. You can select either the Fujifilm Metal Hand Grip for X-T10 or the Fujifilm Leather Case for X-T10 Digital Camera for FREE using the blue link below the “INCLUDES FREE” over there. Four of the six kits are in-stock and orderable. Annotated screenshot crop right below:

Meanwhile at Adorama all six kits are in-stock and come with a free Fujifilm X-T10 Case (no choice between that or the hand grip).

If you’d rather have more utilitarian accessories instead of either official hand-grip or case, Amazon itself offers an extra Wasabi charger with two extra batteries and a 32GB Transcend SD.
