Klasse W - a thing of beauty...

There is very little information on these Fuji cameras (Natura S, Natura Classica , Klasse S and Klasse W). I would be great to now more about them (performance, features, etc.)

So, how is it after a few months of use?

Its in my bag all the time, or in my pocket if no bag with me. Its great!

Fast to shoot and easy controls, only wish the flash was easier to turn off like on my Gr1s.... its a tad heavier than the Ricoh, and a little bigger, but its still small enough to take every where.

Image quality, well not had the time to soup all the rolls shot with it yet, as a working photographer I have to put paid (digital) work before play... but so far so good.... I will come back with more info when I can...
 
Fuji has made some very cool low volume cameras. I'm a bit too addicted to my GRD III......

When I was more into film the Natura was very interesting, the Klasse are something new. Stephen should add a review/info page to his site on them.

Is there a shutter speed control of any kind on the Klasse?

Yes. To raise the shutter speed, you open up the aperture and to slow it down, you stop down the aperture. :p

But there is no way to directly control the shutter speed. It's an "aperture priority mode" camera.

I just got one on Monday, very nice little camera. I shot one roll of Ektar just to test it out, all the exposures were fine and the autofocus was at least as fast as my Canon G10.

How 'bout posting some scans. I'd love to see more of what this camera can do.
 
Here you go. From the first couple of rolls.















This camera is very easy to use, I like it a lot. Great "take anywhere" camera.

Wow, nice work tokengirl! I particularly like the first and last shots. What film / developer combo are you using?
Click to expand...

Thanks. The first three are Kodak Ektar processed at the drug store, I converted the first one to B&W using Silver Efex Pro. The last four are Ilford HP5+ developed in Ilfosol 3.
 
I just wonder I have already both XA(35mm) and XA4(28mm), should I buy another film based aperture priority camera. I have been looking this camera for long long time.
 
I am so going to buy this camera. I can get it second hand for about 37k yen.

And yes, Conrad, you need to buy this camera. It really is beautiful.

I sold my Natura Black because I could not control the exposure.

I can understand the frustration, Raid, but the Natura Black has given me some incredible photos. There is simply no other alternative in film cameras for a fast 24 in a pocketable size with integral flash... I love mine and have done everything I can to keep it running!
 
tokengirl - great pics. The first thing I noticed was the shots in Wynwood (Miami). I took a picture of the "HERE" but it wasn't nearly as good as yours.

I can relate to what you said.
The lens is awesome on the Natura Black.
I needed the cash for some lens, and the Natura had to go.
