News on the Fuji GF670 - very upsetting

Just when I thought that I was 'done'....

If I win the M8 in the LHSA raffle :D, I may trade it in for one (or two) of these.

Looks really cool. Wondering though how can they call the same lens two different things? Like minolta and leica for the CL?
 
2009 looks like a very expensive year. I have only once in my entire life brought a new camera... and it seems I will have to get TWO in 2009
 
Sweeeeet!!

Although I welcome the Voigtlander III and Heliar (in name only, I suspect), somehow I am waiting for one with a Fujinon with EBC coating lens :)

Nevermind, didn't see the last picture :p

Sorry, Harry. I suspect this is a toy for rich boys.

If it were limited to a Fuji namplate and sold only in Japan, I'd be afraid of the price.
Somehow though, I don't think Mr. K. will do that to us. Cameraquest will be taking pre-orders starting in January at $1195 a copy.

Yep, that's my wild arse'd guess and you heard it here first.
 
I'm in serious trouble. I had to ask! Thanks for the photos. It's a pity that it doesn't fold a bit flatter. No worries. Slimmer than the Pentax 6x7.

Hmmmmmmmmm...I have a ton of 220 film in the fridge. I have a 6x6 enlarger. I have an 80mm El-Nikkor.

Yep. I'm in deep manure trouble.
 
Well, it's clearly a niche camera. Any new MF film folder in this day is a niche product. So sales are clearly going to be limited, meaning the company has to recoup its development costs over fewer units. Comparable folders sale for high prices used. Taking all of this into consideration, $2,000 seems reasonable.

It's definitely slimmer than my Fuji GW690 III.

I know there few 6x9 enlargers out there, but I have one and a 6x9 with modern parallax corrected frame lines in the VF would have been greatly appreciated. :D

Ahh, okay. Thanks William. Not a deal breaker, and probably for the better. I've got enough lenses to choke a horse...

If this will be $2k, then I'm going with a Mamiya 7.

I can understand that. Personally, I'm rather much happier with 6x6 & a normal lens but that suits my type of shooting. I'll admit I'd be happier if it were cheaper, but I doubt it. We'll know more soon enough.

If the price is $1195, they will sell a lot of them.

If the price is $2000, they won't sell many.

This is not a complex camera to make. Almost no electronics and certainly no digital sensor.
