Mine too and i always feel guilty...
Sometimes, in order to mock me. she comes in with a crazed look in her eyes and repeating the words "cameras! cameras! cameras! lenses! lenses! Fuji! Hasselblad!"

175 people on RFF have said they would buy this camera.
166 people on APUG have said they would buy this camera.

I guess this is a good sign.

Don't know if my Blad is too large for my pockets or my pockets too little for my Blad... but I'd like a recent/decent MF camera to carry with me all the time. Used to buy my cameras second hand, but for this one I would do the same exception I made in 83 for the Canon F1 New.

So, a quite few threads have started on this camera. Well I got an update from Fuji today:-

Thank you for contacting the FUJIFILM USA Helpdesk.

That they are sending out a standard email suggests they are getting too many enquiries to be answered individually. That has to be a good thing.

The folks over at dpreview.com are even talking about the camera with several people saying it would be
their first medium format camera.

That is definitely a good sign.

I wonder if you still need to watch the numbers in the little red window as you wind on.

Put me in the "ARE" column!

That will give me a Fuji GS645 (folder), a Fuji GA645Zi, a Fuji G690bl, and the new folder. Both the GS645 folder and the GA645Zi are back from Frank at Camera Wiz in the last 3 months.

I wish I could find a nice Fuji Field Camera in 4X5. Anyone have one for sale. I have about 4 Fujinon large format lenses.
