New Fuji/Voigtlander Folder News and Pictures

Oh Dear!

Oh Dear!

I'm going to have a hard time not getting one of these. Time to start thinking about a general clearing out of the cupboard to make way (and money) for a new arrival.
 
Seriously; I haven't had desire like this for a new camera...ever. I hope it's significantly less than one mortgage payment.

Thanks for the link.

Yeah...I'm just getting into MF with cheap (Rapid Omega) gear and now THIS comes along. Just tell me when I can have it and where to send the check.
 
Wait what?


The GF670 has an automatic lens shutter, and an SPD sensor with both automatic and manual autofocus.

Is this just a typo or what? No way that lens could be autofocus? Maybe they mean auto aperture.
 
That could be a typo. Nothing about that lens suggests AF. I don't know how even AE would work on a folder given that the lens is where the shutter "is housed" no?

Interesting looking camera - I note the option for 6x6 as well as 6x7 is available - that's cool :)

How credible is BJP though? That's what I'm curious about :D

Cheers,

Dave, AE is quite believable, as the lens-shutter can be electronically timed and recocked as with the Bronica RF645. Might even feature the same little post-exposure buzz-wheeze... :) I agree "autofocus" must be a typo for "exposure".
 
Ya Doug you're correct but I was just wondering how those electronics would work given that the lens collapses into the body - I don't recall but the Bronica RF645 wasn't a collapsible was it?

Curious,
Dave

Nope, not a folder like this one, but both have the shutter speed dial on top of the body (with an A setting), not on the lens... :)

with the latest rumourd price at $2400 i am glad i dont have your mortgage payments :rolleyes:
 
I hope the meter still works in manual (non-A) mode. Even though it's not 6x9, I just might sell my Bessa II with the APO-Lanthar to pay for this.
