Yep. Silbera is another good example. And JCH Pan.

I've noticed that on a lot of forums. Everyone seems to want to support film until someone comes out with a new film or camera. Then the fangs come out.
If Hunt didn't bag Fujifilm I might cut him some slack, but he shouldn't dish it out if he can't take it. It's unseemly for someone in the business of selling film to blatantly cast aspersions on a competitor, the phrase "vested interest" comes to mind. As far as I am concerned, the fewer people who buy JCH Pan the better.Yep. Silbera is another good example. And JCH Pan.

I must have missed their announcement Hamish. Perhaps you'd be kind enough to pass on a link to it please?He was pissed off a Fuji well before he started producing film - what it is about his opinions about them that bothers you? They are ceasing production of film, is that not something to be frustrated about?
here's the announcement from fujifilm, and bellamy discusses it on his blog.
personally, i don't think it's a bad sign. they're adjusting to the new market to ensure profitability. everyone is going to have grievances about products coming and going from the market.
I wish them well but I believe there are plenty of higher end Japanese film cameras available used for not much.
Perhaps I missed it, but have you ponied up to buy one of these cameras on Kickstarter?But none of those are:
1/ New
2/ Able to adapt to any lens mount with a simple switch of a mount plate
3/ Have detachable film backs with dark slides.
4/ Have a built in flash and LED light.

With fully mechanical shutter, that may be a better option than the Reflex. We'll have to see when the details are released.Hmmm...and another film camera reborn?

If the early voting is any indication, the interchangeable back is not a big selling point. Only two backers have signed up for an extra one.
