The distance between the base of the camera and the rangefinder housing is not sufficient to allow enough bellows draw if the cover (which supports the lens and bellows assembly) were made to fit in the other direction.

Hey, TechTalk,

Welcome back! I thought you had become the 'straw-man' and morphed into Ray just to give us all a hard time. Ahh.. but I don't think that is your nature. Don't stay away so long next time .

Hmm, an rangefinder camera with a huge bellow, doesn't really make framing easier.
But why did they developp this ...thing, I have to admit, it looks nice.
Fuji could be a big fish in the MF pond, but they seem to have no idea what photographers want and need.

I don´t think this camera was made to fulfill everyone´s wants and dreams. I think it´s refreshing to see a camera that isn´t trying to be everything to everyone. This type of folder has a niche market of people who want ultra portable medium format. Fold and drop in jacket pocket. Looks interesting, especially since it has metering capabilities, for personal work. We´ll see if it gets sold outside of the Japanese market.

Gidday,

What amazes me is why didn't they hinge the trap door at the bottom so when open it could sit in the palm of your hand for better stability?

I doubt there is enough distance top to bottom to extend the lens.
I have a 5x4 camera very similar, a Razzledog [a href=\"http://homepages.ihug.com.au/~razzle/]http://homepages.ihug.com.au/~razzle/[/url]
They are nice to use and have, if you shoot ready load you can travel very light with them.

Kevin.

I think everyone in FjiFilm's R&D division is going to end up at the bottom of some river....
