Me too. I loved the Fuji but the pinhole in the bellows problem was
pervasive and a major grievance. I would think that I had the problem
solved and then all the negs would be light struck again. Too bad as
it was beautiful camera.

This particular one got pinholes in the bellows corner, so every time I fixed something and started using it again, the first or second roll showed a new problem. So I lost a lot of interesting photos to that camera over the years. I really liked the idea of a small portable medium format, but it just didn't work out for me. (The lens markings and controls, shape of the thumb notch for focusing and such on the Bessa 667 look exactly as I remember the Fuji lens to have looked. It's a different focal length, though.) |
