Would you buy THIS Fuji folder?

I looked. I didn't see this link in the other thread about Fuji's new MF folder. By the way, there's more here than just a pretty camera. 😀

This camera has the right look. Looks like a square format to me.

Can you fold it closed with a filter in place? And what size filters does it take?
Is it digital? The pictures say "Let's Go Digital" on them, but it looks kinda big for a 6x7mm sensor.

I didn't see photos in the other threads.

Correction: 6x7 format.

Warning: The lens has a dreaded TAB!

I like tabs, but would have much rather prefered 6x6 and an f2.8 lens.

Guess they got it right 60 years ago.... (not Fuji...)

So... just how much IS an arm or a leg (or anything!) worth these days?

for me I would like to see this under $1000 here in USA. Less would be better. I would use it occasionally, but am heavily into digital and lots of old folders for less available....part of me is tired of being hog tied to chargers and battery packs, but won't go heavily to film for a few reasons....YMMV..

So apparently we are to stop that kind of speculation.

No, no one yet really has any firm idea about what the cost will be...., I personally don't have a need for this camera and as such I have a mental limit as to what it will be worth, not meaning to offend anyone here, just MHO....looks nice though...
