We talked about the comeback of Meyer-Optik Görlitz back in February. Then, back in May, an official press release said here, that the TRIOPLAN 100mmF2.8 will be available in December for €1400.
Well, there was apparantly a delay, since Meyer-Optik Görlitz now says here, that shipping will start in February and it will cost €1400, but just at the beginning. Then the price will then go up to €1500.
So here it is, Fuji’s really most important camera ever and the real winner for its imaging division: the brand new Fuji film Instax Mini 70!
You might say… who cares? We are X-shooters and the only instant film we eventually need is the Instax SHARE Smartphone Printer SP-1! These Instax cameras are not important for us!
WRONG!
Instax Cameras are a terrific success for Fujfilm and they push its imaging division into profits more than any X-series cameras. And this is a good thing for us X-shooters, since the earnings Fujfilm makes with Instax Cameras are fueling the development costs of the X cameras… including the one of our long-awaited Fuji X-PRO2!
The latest one, the Instax Mini 70, comes also with some handy features like the automatic exposure control, which captures both the subject and the background in “beautiful clarity” and even a Selfie mode with built-in selfie mirror!
So, APS-C? Full Frame? M43? Medium Format?… no, it’s Instax that spanks them all… and that’s a good thing, even for X-shooters!
Instax is really very important for Fujifilm… and therefore a matter for the boss, Fuji Guy Billy!
FULL PRESS RELEASE
FUJIFILM Corporation (President: Shigehiro Nakajima) is proud to announce that it will release the instax mini 70, a new model to join the ‘instax mini’ series of instant cameras which produce credit-card-size photos instantly, on October 23. The instax mini 70, which comes in three new colors including “Canary Yellow,” “Island Blue,” and “Moon White,” features the Auto Exposure Control Function to capture both the main subject and background in natural brightness as well as the newly added ‘Selfie’ mode. With its modern design the instax mini 70 broadens its appeal to not only young women, but also men in their 20s and 30s, making it a perfect fashion statement at any scene for any occasion at any time.
The instax mini 70 has a variety of shooting modes which allow the user to enjoy photography in a variety of situations. While taking ‘selfie’ shots, users can choose the ‘Selfie’ mode to provide the appropriate brightness and shooting distance for their ‘selfie shots’ and use the Selfie mirror beside the lens to check their framing. Features such as the tripod mount and the self-timer function are perfect for group shots. In addition, the ‘Macro’ mode can be used for shots at a minimum of 30cm from the subject and the ‘Landscape’ mode is suitable for far away landscape pictures.
