Re: AW: Who knows name of Xpan equivalent from Fuji?????

["Mitchell P. Warner" <indepth@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've been all over the web looking for this camera in the Fuji version,  to
no avail.

	Msg from kuratani@xxxxxxxxxxxxx  indicates the camera is the same as the
Hassie but with Fuji name tag on it.  It is made for Hass' by Fuji in Japan.

	Probably not marketed outside of Japan.  The usual deal allows the
Japanese manufacturer to sell a 'Japan Only' model at a price that keeps
Yen inside the country.
	So, if you want one I hope you have a Japanese friend. 
	If the camera did more than a 1:2.7 ratio I might be interested, but the
'advantage' of shooting standard format 35mm and mixing with the 24x65mm
format does not seem cost effective to me.  What would I remove from my
already too heavy back-pack/camera bag? : TheEOS and it's full range of
lenses? the 6x17? The folding Wood-field? 
	While the new point & shoot seems nice, if you are just walking around
with one or two cameras, I don't think I'll get it just to add another
camera to my already over-loaded back.
