helllooo price tag
Kinda out of the range of this film user. If I had that money, I'd buy a nice 4x5 outfit from Robert White. As it is, I think i could only afford his lucky film :)

That's like 3200$... Yikes!

The high cost must be caused by the bellows. Probably hand pleated or something  ;)

It does look like the Fuji doesnt it. Not for me but an absolutely beautiful piece of machinery.

it IS the fuji.  In Japan it is marketed as the Fuji in the rest of the world, it is marketed as the Bessa III.  Exactly the same - all made by Cosina.

I just broke open my kid's piggy bank and he had $3.54 and a handful of broken sea shells for me to borrow. So I guess I'll just have to stick with my bessa 66 & sekonic studio deluxe.

darn.

Costs more than a brand new Mamiya 7II?  How gauche.
