Wide angle fixed RFs

[Antonio Shalder]

Well, I see that several people are talking about AF fixed lens models, not RF !. I don't remember any RF with a fixed lens wider than 35mm, but there are several fixed lens AF models. I had two fantastic cameras in this class. Sadly I was in low cash and sold them.
The true wide one was the amazing Minolta TC-1. This camera is , in my opinion, the best 28mm fixed lens camera. Its lens is absolutely tack sharp and it works in aperture priority mode. Simply stunning. Have one in your hands and you will never look to other cameras the same way you used to. The second one was a Konica Hexar Silver. Again, one of the sharpest lens I ever seen. Spot, Program, Aperture priority and manual. Man, I miss them !!! If you have the chance, try both.

Cute, Ashley! And a surprisingly fast lens for that focal length too.

New Lomo with fisheye. Not really sharp, I guess 🙂

Somewhat offtopic since it is just a 35/2.8, but I've used the Minox 35 GT / GT-E extensively. The lens is great - sharp and with good contrast - but it lacks rangefinder and it is made of plastic (I'm on my third Minox in 15 years, and it just broke when I dropped it). Oly XA is also fun.

That Fujifilm 24/1.9 is not available outside of Japan. Too bad!

I think I was told you can also order the Fuji BLACK Natura 24mm camera through Amazon Japan, or rather Amazon.jp ??? Not too sure, but worth checking out...I'm sure if you really wanted one that there are online retailers other than "Megaperls" who are willing to ship outside of Japan, just a mater of finding them. Perhaps some of the Japanese based members could help out if anyone was seriously interested.
