Fuji Natura anyone? 24mmF1.9 P&S

[Rob]

Saw some pics done with this camera on Photonet. As small as an XA someone said I think only available in Japan for now...Anyone have one of these?

 

[Andrew Sowerby]

Never heard of it. Sounds very interesting though . . .

Perhaps a stupid question: It's a film camera, right?

 

[gelmir]

Yes it's a film camera and apparently you can buy it here, since it seems to be only available in Japan.

hi rob,

user reviews are quite good here in japan. i'm thinking of getting one myself (if my CFO approves the budget). but if you need help getting one, just PM me. i think i can get it for a bit less than the one on the online shop bill mentioned.

I wonder how good the camera's point n shoot AF system is. I would guess that shooting wide open at f1.9, even at 24mm, there isn't much DOF. Anyone heard if focus is often inadvertantly "out"?

 

[breakaway]

Hi popitz, i'm keen.. Could you advise me on the cost?

I think the problem with the focus is not that great because of the limited top shutter speed of 1/350 which would mean the camera is going to stoop down quite a lot if it were to use high speed film.

not really cause the canon af35ml has a 40mm with a 1.9 and that a old camera :bang:

 

[back alley]

i think what's amazing is that the lens is a 24 & 1.9.

I would not mind getting my hands on one if reasonably priced (home CEO always complains when I get a new camera)

 

[DougK]

I keep thinking about this little guy, but it's a little more than I want to spend on a point-and-shoot.

After my very pleasant experiences with another fixed-lens P&S (the Olympus Stylus Epic), I was very very tempted to get this camera. But it's high cost relative to what it offers held me back.

I have sortof solved the 'problem' by getting a 24mm f/2.8 lens for my film SLR.

 

[KoNickon]

So, can we convince Stephen Gandy or Rich Pinto to import these?

 

[kingkong666jp]

hmmmmmmmmm, why spend so much when you can get a used canon af35ml that comes with a 40mm 1.9 for a song and you get back a pack of chips with gravy??? :bang:

OK, Salman, first you show up at the T.O. meet sans RF, now you're telling us about an SLR lens. You know, RFF does have a section of Mounties just for people like you ...

It has a large lcd screen that acts as a film counter.

Why does it need a large lcd as a film counter, big digits for visually impaired photographers?
