It is becoming well nigh impossible to source Fuji batteries for the X100S, so it is time to upgrade! It has not been released in India as yet, but I should get my hands on one without much difficulty when they do so, probably early next month. I have the two adapter lenses as well, which convert the lens to 28mm and 50mm, without changing the maximum aperture, so that makes it an excellent lightweight travel kit as well. These are highly recommended and pop up in the used section of B&H now and then, which is where I got mine from. I am thinking of converting the X100S to IR, to fool around with, when I finally upgrade.
