The pictures it produces have a very 'filmic' quality to them, as we are accustomed to the anamorphic format of motion pictures. Always wanted one after seeing Kai's pictures on this DigitalRev video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38plXCYCvKQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38plXCYCvKQ
Seeing how it has such a cult following and how much the prices have shot up on eBay, it boggles the mind that they won't make another version. There are a number of DIY projects on various websites that use medium format lenses with integrated shutters, however they usually end up quite expensive as well.
- kweks 4y agoIt really is an incredible piece of kit. I'd picked mine up (the Fuji TX-2 version) on a trip to Hong Kong for 2kUSD at the time. Dragged it literally around the world, but stopped using it because it was starting to show the wear, and I was scared of ruining it. I've shot a lot of digital and film since then, but nothing has ever come close to capturing the sheer beauty that drops out of this camera. Shooting on slide film and then diving in with a loupe abd a lightbox is like reliving the moment. If anyone is interested, this is my first roll of film from the camera (on the legendary Fuji Velvia 50 no less) http://travel.ninjito.com/2006-09-22 http://travel.ninjito.com/2006-09-22
