Amazon Warehouse Deals is like a box of chocolates 🙂 The new condition Vizelex ND Throttle Lens Mount Adapter for select Nikon lenses to Fuji X-system cameras goes for $100, but thanks to the 20% off automatic in-cart discount you can get it for $45~ with free shipping by Amazon Warehouse Deals itself (3rd-party sellers not eligible for the automated in-cart discounts). As always with adapters and converters and such, there are trade-offs, restrictions, limitations and such, so be sure to read up on it if you are not familiar with it or the trade-offs and such.

Fuji X-A10 with 16-50mm drops to $350
Another big discount this week. Last week the Fuji X-A10 with 16-50mm was going for $500 [see Mirrorless Price Charts]. This week it is down to $350 with free shipping at Amazon by Amazon itself (limit 3) and B&H Photo (with free 32GB Extreme SD and Bag) and at Adorama.
This is certainly a nice price for a “take pictures with” kit as an entry-level entry-point in the Fuji X system. But the Fuji X system has been around for a while now, so you have more options in the used market if you prefer a more advanced camera. The Fuji X-T1 is in this ballpark used, but its new condition price dropped too this week, it is back down to $800 at B&H Photo. However a few weeks ago, Fuji had a promotion on the X-T1 at this price, with a free 35mm f2 lens. I do not know if they are planning to bring back this promotion for the holiday shopping season.
Meanwhile the Fuji X-A3 with 16-50mm remains at $550 (eg Adorama), just as it was last week. So reading the price change tea leaves, Fuji is encouraging shoppers towards the X-A10 at this time.
New Lens Instant Savings: Fuji, Tokina, Nikon, Canon, Zeiss
A number of new lens instant savings promotions are running at the moment! You can find them nicely organized at Adorama as follows:
+ Fuji X System: 58 options
+ Tokina (mostly Canon and Nikon): 17 options
+ Canon EF/EF-S lenses: 38 lenses and three flashes
+ Nikon F lenses: 9 options
+ Zeiss Batis and Loxia: 8 options
+ Panasonic M43 Lenses: 31 options
BUT that’s not all! There’s more instant savings from other manufacturers as well, rounded up separately: Pentax, Olympus, Rokinon, Samyang and of course Shiguma (Sigma).
(SOLD OUT) Used Fuji X-T1 body for $399 + S&H
As of a 11/16/17 AM recheck, this sold out at the $399 price. Supplies of used cameras are limited so they run out differently than new condition prices. Also prices are more volatile since they depend on more factors…
If you are comfortable with heavily used and scratched cameras that are still functional though, Adorama has the used Fuji X-T1 body only in “Used – Good” condition for $399 plus shipping (around $10) with a 90-day Adorama warranty and a 30-day return policy. If you don’t see it in the listings, it means it sold out since this was posted. Used supplies are typically limited.
The above may be of interest if you are looking for a non-entry-level entry into the Fuji X-system. On the other hand, if you prefer a “take pictures with” kit, the Fuji X-A10 with 16-50mm goes for $350 at various sellers including Amazon by Amazon itself (limit 3) and B&H Photo (with free 32GB Extreme SD and Bag) and at Adorama.
Used Fuji X-T10 body for $369
Price-checking has began again as I’m working on the Mirrorless segment of the Price Charts series.
Fuji has many X-cameras now. If your research and price points are pointing towards a used Fuji X-T10, there are a lot of options under $400 at the moment for the body only. Adorama and Green Mountain Camera are fighting for the $369 price point at Amazon Warehouse Deals in “Used – Like New” condition.
Meanwhile KEH Camera, which offers a 180-day warranty [factor that into the price since warranties cost money to offer] offers it for $379 plus shipping in “Used EX+” (Excellent Plus) condition. Or for $20 more for an “LN-” condition (LN = Like New).
Used prices of the X-T20 are almost twice as much at the moment.
Open-box Fuji X-E3 with 18-55 for $1149
The new condition Fuji X-E3 with 18-55mm kit goes for $1299 at authorized dealers but if you want to save some, authorized dealer OneCall is offering in open-box condition for $1149 with free shipping and they come with the full manufacturer warranty.
Fuji X-PRO 2 body only with extras for $1500
The Fuji X-PRO 2 body only recently (not sure when) dropped from $1700 to $1500 at authorized dealers, and at the moment Adorama is bundling four freebies with it, the Corel software bundle, a 32GB Fuji SDHC card, a 24/7 Traffic Collection holster, and a cleaning kit. This too surfaced while doing the price-checking for the upcoming Price Charts series for this week.
One change for this edition, I am dropping the Leica cameras from the 35mm full frame chart to simplify things and make it more readable. There’s nine of them ranging from $4000 to $8000. More noise than signal 🙂 They are staying in the Mirrorless and the other Price Charts. They are getting dropped only from the 35mm Full Frame chart because they are overwhelming it 🙂

Fuji X-E3 added to Stock Status Tracker
The Fuji X-E3 is estimated by Amazon to come out September 28, but you know how it is with estimates. So I have just added the X-E3 body only to the Stock Status Tracker. I will also keep an eye on the other two official kits, but the compromise made in order to add it to the Tracker without adding more overhead was to focus on the X-E3 body only.
Reminder: Fuji X-E3 estimated to ship September 28
The new Fuji X-E3 mirrorless camera (available in three different kits) is estimated to be in-stock around September 28 (2017), but keep in mind, as it is often the case with new camera releases in limited quantities, the dates can shift and change as time goes by!
We are still a couple of days away from the release giving you time to research this camera and alternative cameras/systems so you can make an educated decision before it rolls out.
Pre-orders are accepted for $900 (body only), $1150 (w/23mm f2), $1300 (w/18-55) at B&H Photo and Adorama and Amazon itself.
PS: if you are an Amazon Prime member, AND you have either the Amazon Chase Prime VISA credit card or the Amazon Prime Store credit card, AND you pay for your order with it, you can get 5% back as a statement credit. However, if you are offered and accept any special 0% financing promotion with the Amazon Store Credit Card, you will not earn a 5% statement credit.
