Fuji Film - Klasse W - A new way to waste film...
« on: November 26, 2006, 09:32:05 AM »
135 format, 28mm, f2.8. Full auto, with aperture priority, and exposure compensation. On sale 2006.12.01 from Fuji Film. Hopefully available outside of Japan early next year.

Price is a well earned \95,000 (USD820), so assuming it will be well built, and nice to use. Have fun. Skj.

This seller is in the same street as me here in Tokyo, so if you buy anything from him, I can chase... Skorj.

What is the size compared to a Minolta TC-1?

Not exactly compact!
I guess I'll stick to the TC-1

Bit the bullet and got mine, the black version though. So the 8000 limited units goes for the black too? Not that it's of any importance to me though, just curious.

Compared it to a friend's TC-1 ... it's way bigger  ;D

I sold off my 24mm f1.9 Natura some time ago and regretted the decision  :(

This looks undeniably sexy though. Good to see a quality new model like this coming out.
