Thanks vision - I think they quit making them in the late 80's (the folders) but then they
made the WA (wide angle versions) that had a fixed lens until recently.
I have been thinking about selling this one because it doesn't get much use but it is a joy to use.
Like I said - the 75mm Fujica lens is tack sharp and the meter is dead accurate and easy to use.
I have 645 negs I have enlarged to 20x24 and they are dead on
They are a great camera if you want 120/220 in a small light package that is tough as hell (polycarb body)
I think you can still pick them up for about $350-$450 used but make sure the bellows are good.
(If they leak you can have them replaced for $100)
I've also seen them as high as $1000 which is crazy - think I paid $350 in Like new condition
at Levines in Boston when they were about $550 new. (late 80's just before they quit making them -
guess I've had it closer to 20 years now )
