Not sure if anybody here is interested in this, but I wrote a quick review for Dirk Rosler at Japan Exposures on this camera.

I'm extremely happy with this camera and the large negatives.

Thanks for the review, interesting camera for sure.

I believe that it is a 5000 limited production batch, isn' it?

Cheers,
Bernard

That's correct Bernard, 5,000 total cameras. It is released under the Fuji brand in Japan and as Voigtlander in the rest of the world.

Interesting that in this day and age there seems to be a demand for the camera and Fuji (Cosina Voigtlander) are struggling to meet orders.

There has been a lot of complaints from people saying its too expensive at $2,250 but when I sold my 5D 2 and a half years ago after less than 18 months use I lost close to $2,000 over what I had paid for it.
