From the ‘Plastic Fantastic’ period of Fuji Photo Film comes this awesome little 35mm compact camera.
Lots of good looking plastic.
Released in Japan in December 1991 for ¥15,800. It features a fixed 28mm Fujinon f/8 lens and a shutter speed of 1/100. Manual winding but with auto exposure and automatic flash.
The set came with plenty of documentation and a nice padded camera case. We added the roll of Fujicolor for a bit of, you know, color!
We love collecting these “new old stock” cameras from the 1980s, 1990s and the 2000s. They were, for the most part, excellent cameras that provided a bridge from complicated SLR cameras to easier to use compact cameras capable of producing high-quality images. Of course, modern smartphones can do panorama photography so why use a film camera? A look that just looks “different” – so analog with all of its imperfections.
