Yes, I like the idea of Łxx worth of free film (let's say Ł100), and so should Fuji. The real cost to them would be very small, but of considerable value to the camera buyer. It would probably also have the effect of gettting the camera into widespread use, and the images 'published', quite quickly - a marketing bonus for Fuji in respect to camera and film sales.

I'll also reiterate earlier views that a semi-wide angle lens is far more attractive nowadays than an 80mm, but that this should not compromise image quality at the corners.

I am assuming that the "black and silver finished top plate" (AP Informer) is all metal and not plastic. I would not pay even Ł350 for a plastic camera.

The viewfinder needs to be of good size and clarity, etc - not a squinty little hole. Many older potential customers have 'funny' eyesight - consideration of a (screw-in) diopter correction lens may be required. (Accessory hot-shoe finders are excellent aids on many direct view cameras and could also be considered).

Screw fitting for filters at a standard size, plus a decent hood (preferably rectangular) are an absolute necessity. Standard cable release too.

Please send me a prototype for testing ..... Thank you.
