Looking for a fixed RF and find the Klasse in $500.
Like the NP mode ie shoot with dedicated film at night without flash turn out quite a interesting result. Daylight performance seems okay too.
But, $500 for 38mm F2.8 lens is worth?

Moreover, do you know how it manually focus?

The biggest complaint I've heard is that the finder is really tiny and squinty. One of Fuji's "limited edition" cameras, so the prices seem pretty high. Think they only made 8,000 or something like that.

I have seen them around for about 500 dollars near mint, I have also had a look through one, the finder is so so, the lens is great. Personally I would favor the klasse S but those are even more expensive and hard to find. Word is this is the same camera as the rollei afm 35 which has a similar lens to it and pretty much the same body.

You can see at the Rollei AFM35 - practicaly the same camera, but at a low price.
For example, new one:

The manually focusing at those cameras - only by scale.

Can Rollei AFM35 use the Fuji-1600 film with same result as new Klasse?

There's also one here for £250 from a reputable British shop:

(look under compacts, and then Rollei)

Why not? Both lenses are modern tessars (4/3), coated, practicaly with the same designe...

I think the NP mode on the new Klasse (and on the Fuji natura cameras) does something with the exposure, if I remember correctly it underexposes a couple of stops or something.
. Thanks.
