Buy a Fujifilm X-Pro1 and save $300 on select Fujinon lenses:

For a limited time, save $300 on select Fujinon lenses with the purchase of a Fujifilm X-Pro1 from Amazon.

Offer is valid through November 3, 2012, or while supplies last.

This is how it works:

Go to the dedicated Amazon webpage, select the Fujifilm X-Pro1, select either the 18mm F2 or 35mm F1.4 Fujinon lens. Savings will be automatically applied at checkout.

Is this a good deal? Very much so. That’s basically top glass for half the price.

According to online sources the X-Pro1 is about to get a firmware update. Expect better autofocus in low-light conditions improved manual focusing and faster writing speeds.

Fujifilm has a reputation for delivering excellent firmwares that make X series cameras altogether snappier.

Why the hefty discount now? Well the Fujifilm X-E1 is about to be announced. You’ll get a smaller body, faster autofocus and a kit zoom, without optical viewfinder though.

The kit zoom says it all. The X-E1 aims at another market.

With the arrival of the new X series sibling the X-Pro1 may look like an even better camera.
