Why have Fuji created the prototype of a very 'retro' camera? Is it:
* pure marketing hype - "Hey, we are still here" * a niche-marketed cash-cow for rich Japanese collectors * an oblique pitch for a bigger market share in film (competing more strongly with Kodak) hence: * a serious attempt at securing some additional film sales, while people are still interested, etc * senior executives nostalgia/menopause/senior moment * the techies had some spare time on their hands * R&D is tax-deductable in Japan * someone found some 40-year old blueprints and decided to have a mess around wi' them * it's mid-April in Japan already, and the announcement was at the start of the month * ...
If it's gonna be a well-made metal camera, not a collectible 'toy', and at a sensible price, I'd buy one.
I'd prefer a slightly wideangle lens, say 60-65mm. It all depends on the lens type: a f3.5 bellows mounted lens suggests a 'simple' Tessar type - not great as wide angles. Also, it has to perform at least as well as a Super Ikonta for it to be a camera worthy of serious consideration
