I know it's all about translation and cultural references, but what with your pipe nipples, your turkey injection syringes and now your sexy knurled knobs, I'm beginning to see a pattern.

Beautiful...

Very retro inspired design, all that aluminium and the fact they left the screws to show resembles a little the German Zeiss Nettar/Ikonta cameras.

You can set it to shoot 6x6, which makes it my backup plan to my Mamiya 6 if it ever dies.

Well the price is certainly breathtaking.  I'd love to try one though.

The price makes me wonder if Fuji is really serious about staying in the film camera market.
I know there are folks out there that will gladly lay down that kind of cash, but good grief...not us normal working folk.

The cost is prohibitive for most I would reckon...

For three big ones, I'll just buy another telescope.

will this be available in the US? I know the regular GF670 has been approx 1,400~1,600$.
