Hi NS -
Apologies for not posting in BST but this purchase is time sensitive and am looking for advice from the NS photo and media community. In short, my camera equipment was stolen a few years back and i'm a nascent journalist early in his career with a great opportunity ahead - I was recently invited to trip to Cuba with a group of prominent reporters and filmmakers.
I've been looking to replace my setup and have been keen on a Fuji X-pro1 or a comparable mirrorless.
I'm interested in any and all offers - I currently live in the Atlanta area.
PM me!
thx. :)

Since you’re in Atlanta I would suggest going to KEH if you don’t want to do the eBay thing.
Also I would be careful with used early mirrorless bodies. I bought an xpro2 brand new and it died in about 18 months of photojournalism use. If it’s a budget thing used dslr stuff is stupid cheap right now and there are significant battery life and durability advantages over mirrorless, especially a lot of the earlier mirrorless systems.
If you want an xpro because you really want a leica but can’t afford one a used x100 of some variety might be a better choice than an xpro. They are more durable in my experience and when I had an xpro I used the 23mm 90 percent of the time anyways. If you don’t like a 35mm equivalent focal length then disregard that suggestion.
If I knew your budget and more details about what the story was I could probably give you better advice.
