Fujifilm dropped a teaser for the Fujifilm X-Half Frame camera with the tag line half the size, twice the story. I grabbed the shadow camera for you to look at and brightened it up a little. It looks like the back of the camera might have a subscreen to show the film simulation that goes next to the vertical screen on the back. I think we have a lot of the buttons on the back right, based on the FCC filings we found here. This is certainly going to be a unique classic-style camera that should sell very well, but I wonder how the US release will go if the tariffs aren’t dealt with. Maybe Fujifilm will manufacture it in another country just for the United States.
The Fujifilm X-Half Frame should be announced soon, given the teaser and leaked images of the camera, but shipments might be in the distant future. I really want one to complement my X100, and I hope it comes with a 35-50mm equivalent lens.
