<\/a>To recap (like an annoying Channel 5 Documentary) I was looking at the following:<\/p>\n
- \n
- 100-400 + TC (Lowest price and current \u00a31490\/1649)<\/li>\n
- 18mm (\u00a3400\/479)<\/li>\n
- 27mm (\u00a3319\/349)<\/li>\n
- Fisheye (\u00a3212\/219)<\/li>\n
- Battery (\u00a341\/46)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Fortunately a Facebook\/Forum friend (Alec) offered me the Fisheye for \u00a3130 – he was awaiting an Ebay purchaser that never paid up – so a win for me.<\/p>\n
A further win was the 100-400 + TC being on offer for \u00a31479, so that was snapped up fairly quick (along with a lens pen and lens wipes for an extra \u00a310).<\/p>\n
During the week I was thinking about picking up an X-E3 and 27mm to use as my carry to work camera (not wanting to take my X-Pro 2) – so that combination was grabbed as well.\u00a0 The X-E3 was \u00a3100 less and selling for \u00a3699 – the 27mm lens wasn’t discounted too well,\u00a0 at \u00a3339 it’s just a tenner off the normal price – however if bought with a X series camera another \u00a350 was taken off.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I did ask for offers on this combo and they eventually got it down to \u00a3969.60.<\/p>\n
As I needed a SD card I picked up an Extreme SD card for \u00a316.50.<\/p>\n
So all in, I paid Wex \u00a31615.10 as I had \u00a3850 in store credit (Total \u00a32465.10)<\/p>\n
So with regards to lenses I managed to do a Meatloaf – two out of three ain’t bad.\u00a0 I did have a look at the 23mm and X-E3 bundle, but found the protrusion of that lens a bit too much – Likewise the 18mm was a bit bulky.<\/p>\n
I didn’t find any Fuji Batteries at decent prices, so I’ll probably pickup some Hahnel branded ones online – they seem to be a reasonable 3rd party replacement from a recognised brand.\u00a0\u00a0 I’ll need to pick up a small bag for the X-E3 – I had a look at the show,\u00a0 but couldn’t find anything small\/protective enough for my liking.<\/p>\n
Overall I enjoyed the show and it was quite an expensive day – but mostly paid for by my Canon trade ins.<\/p>\n

Remarkably the discounts (for Fuji – didn’t check others) were decent.\u00a0 Infact in some cases better than the best recent price on CameraPriceBuster. So, what did I get? To recap (like an annoying Channel 5 Documentary) I was looking at the following: 100-400 + TC (Lowest price and current \u00a31490\/1649) 18mm (\u00a3400\/479) 27mm (\u00a3319\/349) Fisheye … <\/p>\n
