I've fallen in love with that Raymond Loewy-esque style and font!



See ya! Skj.

Very streamline deco... nice.
I wonder why the word Rapid seems to have fallen out of style? I know it sounds silly but it tends to make so many things much cooler :)

(just like anything with the words Matic or the famous - o - between words)

I'd love to have one of these, but they are super rare. the first is a prototype 2.8, and only a few of the second, a 3.5, were released to the public...

I like 44s. For some reason many were made in green or gray. A common design element for this format I think...

More of the Fujicaflex, I love the DoF indicator and the back lock:

I love the eye flex! An art deco beauty.
