Fuji Plans 6x7cm Folder

[John]

Apparently Fujifilm are planning a 6x7cm folding rollfilm camera with rangefinder, electronic shutter, 120/220 film capability, auto exposure modes.

I thought that sounded very intriguing, although I'm not sure how many people will.

Those who know what a Voigtlander Bessa II is might get excited by something similar with modern electronics and automation!

sunsworth, would it tempt you away from your Leica?

John, if the price was right I might be tempted, but not as a replacement <grin>.

It would be nice to have a compact camera that could take such large negatives. I've had a couple of folders in the past they are a good way of carrying an MF camera, certainly easier than my Mamiya RB67!
