Back when the X Vario first came out, I had to give it a try. Regardless of the negative publicity it received, I thought it to be a great camera.
Unfortunately, I just couldn't justify the very high price versus what I already had in the Fuji X-E1 and its great lenses. So, with regrets back it went.
I had been trying to figure out which camera to get next lately - X-E2 or E-M1. But, I was also scanning eBay and Amazon, hoping for a great deal on a used Leica. Some deal I just couldn't refuse.
Yesterday I bid on an X Vario refurb on eBay, full Leica warranty. Did not think I'd win the auction, thought my highest auto-bid was just too low. Well as of 3PM today, I'm a Leica X Vario owner, again. This time at a price I can justify that camera at. Woo-hoo!
Now, I just have to wait as it wends its way from balmy Florida to nippy Minnesota. Tapping my foot, twiddling my thumbs already. Looking forward to what I know I can get out of that camera.
Tap-tap-tap. Twiddle-twiddle. Tap-tap-tap. :woohoo1:
