We talked about the upcoming Fujifilm X100VI a bit yesterday, and today we got another interesting tidbit that’s worth discussing. According to Fujirumors, Fujifilm is planning to release at least one Limited Edition version of the X100VI, and it sounds like it might possibly be available to purchase on launch day.
Of course, Fujifilm has made some Limited Edition models in the past. Who can forget the USA Flag version of the X-A3? Nothing says ‘Merica quite like this.
So I thought it would be fun to speculate what Limited Edition versions of the X100VI they could potentially release. Not long ago Fujifilm made the Disney version of the X100V. While I didn’t care for it personally, at least it wasn’t the red, white, and blue X-A3. There are a number of possible options that could actually be really cool. The Brown Edition of the X100F was snazzy, and I was tempted by it at the time.
I’ve thought of several options that Fujifilm could go with. The one that, by far, excites me the most is the Acros Edition, a B&W-only model. I doubt that Fujifilm will do this, but it would be extraordinarily epic if they did, and they absolutely should. Some other ideas are Graphite Silver (like the X-T1/X-T2), Dura Black / Dura Silver (like the X-Pro3), or Brown (like the X100F). Leica made a Limited Edition model with faux patina, maybe Fujifilm will do something similar? How about one with a different lens? They could make a more wide-angle or more telephoto version.
The Disney Edition doesn’t excite me, but one with the classic Fujifilm logo on it could be decent, if done right. How about one with Mount Fuji? Maybe they should have a Fuji X Weekly model? It could have my Teton X logo printed on the front. Just kidding, of course.
I have no idea what the Limited Edition X100VI will look like. It could be something really cool or extremely outlandish. If it’s especially cool, it will make the camera even more tempting. I suppose that we’ll find out soon enough.
I would speculate it would go along with the 90th anniversary, say with the old logo along with a color or finish.
Yeah, probably something to do with the 90th anniversary of the company… that makes a lot of sense.
Dura perhaps?
It certainly could be. I have no idea personally.
I definitely like the idea of the Acros edition.
That flag thing is just ridiculous! I can’t believe they did that. Didn’t know they did a Disney. I actually kind of like that. There’s a Disney Leica Q2, too.
I’ve got my fingers crossed for the Acros Edition, but I really don’t believe that will be it. One can hope, though, right?
There will be two limited editions: black and silver. Both with limited availability for couple of years and then slowly fading away while prices for few samples in eBay go rocketing. 🙂
🤣 🤣 🤣
Love the brown leather. Very vintage if darker brown, perhaps weathered. 👍
Brown leather would be quite tempting, I think.
The graphite xpro2 was gorgeous. That would be my vote
It could be something like that. Would be quite nice.
Presuming it’s just a body difference… Distressed black painted brass. Maybe it’d be heavier than the metals they typically use, but it’d look sweet. I’ve got a Nikon FM which I bought used, and it’s mostly black with some slightly worn corners, that little bit of brass poking through. There’s nothing quite like it.
If they can’t use brass, I’d be fine with another distressed one. I keep being tempted by a particular pen–the Kaweco AL Sport Stonewashed. There, I actually think it looks best with the blue paint. Putting that all together, it’d go best with a dark brown leather, dark blue paint job, but distressed blue. I think that’d work.
But I’d still rather have the black and brass.
Black with distressed brass would be pretty epic, I would think.
Maybe something like this?

That Fuji logo looks amazing on the camera… not sure how I feel about the all-silver design. Might not have a lot of grip. Would look good on a shelf, though. Did you make that mockup? Thanks for sharing!
Yes, you’re welcome. Thanks for doing this blog!
Awesome job!

Это потому, что это положило начало политическим дебатам. Я тоже удалил свой комментарий. Мы здесь ради фотографии, а не политики. Надеюсь, обошлось без обид.
Yes, it’s all right. The second answer is a slight provocation on my part. But I would only delete it)
A 16mm edition or a 50mm edition would be nice.
Great ideas!
