The Price of Nostalgia? | Fujifilm X100VI

With its retro design and throwback film look, Fujifilm’s X100VI is the internet’s trendiest camera. It might be one of the best looking cameras of all time, BUT I was here before the hype. I bought the X100T on my first trip to Japan, upgraded to the X100F on the next trip, then graduated to the V before yet another trip to Nippon. Across the span of three separate Japan adventures, the X100 cameras taught me three street photography philosophies that I still use every day. But these cameras aren’t mine, not anymore. Turns out I’ve been chasing a ghost, a fleeting memory of that first shooting experience. So here I am, back at the start.

Am I, and are you - over-romanticising these cameras? How much are you willing to pay for nostalgia?
