Stylish vintage with character

The Fujifilm X-T series (X-T2, X-T3, X-T4, X-T5) has won the love of photographers for its stunning film profile colors and mechanical dials for controlling shutter speed and ISO. These cameras are very popular on the secondary market. But when choosing you need know the three most important nuances.

Feature 1: Fujifilm has a hidden odometer

Unlike Canon/Nikon DSLRs, Fujifilm has a `Frame Number` counter hidden in the internal metadata block **Fujifilm MakerNotes**. Simple online services give an error. To find out an honest shot, you need a decoder that can Parse proprietary Fuji RAF tags.

Point 2: Evolution of shutters in the X-T series

• Fujifilm X-T2/X-T3:resource 150,000 frames. Standard spring curtain unit. The recommended safe mileage upon purchase is **up to 60,000 frames**.
• Fujifilm X-T4/X-T5:resource 300,000 frames! Engineers have completely redesigned the curtain damper, installed a magnetic drive. Recommended mileage - **up to 100,000 frames**.

Point 3: Wear of analog control wheels

When meeting, be sure to rotate the top metal dials for shutter speed and ISO. They should have a clear click fixation. Check the Micro-HDMI connector - for active videographers it is often broken out of the board.
