Fuji announces a Graphite Silver X-T2 and Graphite X-Pro2: Price and availability confirmed

Fuji X-Pro2 Graphite
News

Fuji is set to introduce a Graphite Silver version of its popular X-T2 and a Graphite edition of its ground-breaking X-Pro2.

The Fujifilm X-T2 Graphite Silver Edition will come with tailor-made accessories including a premium leather strap, aluminium hotshoe cover and matching EF-X8 hotshoe mount flash.

Meanwhile the Fujifilm X-Pro2 Graphite Edition will be sold with the compact Fujinon XF23mm F2 R WR lens in the same colour.

The Graphite Silver finish is achieved using a multi-layer coating, which is created in the following process:

  1. A matt black undercoat is applied to the die cast magnesium top cover to create deep, rich shadows.
  2. Using computer-controlled Thin-Film Multilayer Coating Technology, the silver texture is then added. The ultra-fine particles of graphite are applied using high speed rotation to give a smooth, elegant feel.
  3. The final layer is a clear varnish which gives a rich glossy finish.
  4. Touches such as the logo are coloured by hand.

The Graphite finish of the X-Pro2 Graphite Edition is created in the same way but extra black pigment is added to the top coating to give a darker metallic texture that is more suited to a camera used for discreet shooting.
