I think FujiFilm should change it's name to FujiDigital and sell digital mirrorless rangefinder wanna be cameras to hipsters!
Of all the films Fuji"Film" has discontinued, FP-100C has hit me the hardest. It really put a bad taste in my mouth when I think about the company. Of course I feel a little guilty as I love the Fuji GA645 I have. What's my RZ Polaroid back going to do!?
ReplyDeleteThere should be no guilt for using fuji analogue products. The guilt should belong to Fuji for ignoring and letting down their clients and even to a degree their legacy.
