that's pretty damn cool. i'd be surprised if it ever actually sold outside of japan. probably will cost a couple grand.

Good thing I can't afford it. The first thing I'd do is swap that lens out for a really crappy one... ha!

Yeah I think my ?5 Isolette will have to suffice for now !

Very nice, and unlike the digital offerings shown below in that article, Fuji didn't feel the need to add three colour co-ordinated blondes in an attempt to increase its appeal  :)

Well... I don't have any problem with that since they all make nice photos ;D

This is the one I have, I love it.  They go for $400usd but I wish it was 6x6.  Mechanical except for light meter.
Great lens and fits in your pocket.

I wish it was 6x6. 

But on the up side it's cheaper on film :)

I know I have a venerable Zeiss-Ikon that shoots 6x6 and it works wonders after probably close to 50 years.

I think a wideangle version would be great.

There is no 6x6 folder with a wide lens as far as i know... a 50mm would be nice.

Hmm ... I sorta hope I can't afford the Fuji when (if) it comes out.  I'm pretty happy with my (2nd) Mamiya 6 right now.

6x6 and 6x45 all in one ... mind you, it doesn't have aperture priority metering.   :-\
