Andrew Dayer Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 I presume this is likely of interest to collectors only: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/394980329327 Currently at £600 The only recent(ish) posts by someone using one were from 2020 by the late Giles Read (ultrapurple; http://www.flickr.com/ultrapurple).

VideoJohn Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Someone was trying to get like either $3500 or $6000 for one here in the States on ebay not that long ago. I laughed out loud at whatever the price was. Link to comment
Andrea B. Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Mr.Read has a lot of interesting fotos on Flickr. What happened to him? The Fuji IS is probably a collector's item, as you say. There are better full-spectrum conversions. Link to comment

The Fuji IS is probably a collector's item, as you say. There are better full-spectrum conversions. There's just a note on his Flickr profile from his wife saying he had passed away. I'm guessing 2021-ish. I only found his work a year or so back when I stumbled across his x-ray based imagary. iirc, Fuji IS is based on a Nikon D200. I have a full spectrum D200 but rarely use it since it has no live view. Link to comment

I'm pretty sure it's against the TOS to sell it to someone not approved to do so. I'm of the impression it's a bit of a Unicorn here in the states. Again, I don't recall specifically, but that copy may have been new in box, but I don't really recall anything besides the insane price. Link to comment
