Will soon purchase a Fuji GF 20-35mm. Even used ones are pricey, but can certainly save several hundred bucks if I go used. So how much should I care about whether or not I have Fuji’s warranty? Are Fuji’s lenses generally bullet proof, or am I reasonably likely to need it? Places like MPB offer 6 month coverage, Fuji US warranty is 12 months, and of course Fred Miranda is 0 months. Thoughts?

Assume you can only get one of these two primes for landscape photography. Which one would you purchase, and why. Btw, I’m completely new to the hobby - and my gfx, so I can’t say things like, oh, I’m going to shoot ____. I’m getting a 35-70 for travel photography, and maybe an adapted Sigma 85 Art lens for portrait stuff, but I want a native prime for some landscape work.

Planning to pull the trigger soon to get a GFX 100s II, and the market makes no sense to me. Had been thinking I’d maybe pickup a used one (despite my recent failures with eBay), but prices fora used body only version on MPB is more expensive than a new one from Adorama and a few other sites. What in the world is going on with pricing for these cameras? If there’s no savings in buying a used one, I’d buy new, but that’s what everyone else would do too. Is there no place to actually buy one of these from an individual without paying more than new price?

Just saw a listing on eBay for $900 usd for a body only 100s II. Listing claims mint condition, studio use and a shutter count of 384 (with a screen shot of proof). Too good to be true? Is this a scam? I pulled the trigger and bought it, but I’m already nervous.
