I only hope they come out with a 50/55mm wide version 
A 67 folder with AE and lens shutter. That must be a first maybe not?

That's my second choice. The 80mm Heliar comes first!

For 6x7, the only cameras that come close are the famous Plaubel Makina 67 (a metered folder but without auto exposure) and the Mamiya 7 (auto exposure but not a folder).
Cheers!

It looks like the focus control is on the lens.
I think I like this. Having "played around" with a Plaubel 67.
I found the focus dial on the camera a bit awkward.
I suppose it would become natural quickly but being used to using my right hand for focus, it was weird.
Truly very exciting. Once again Mr. K shows his dedication for bringing the best of the past back into the present.
Teaming up with Fuji is simply a natural for this project. The chances for a wide model must be higher right?
Abbazz are you on the waiting list for one ?

Yes, of course, although I want to see the price before committing to buy.

Hurrah, finally something that perhaps can be used longer than 6 months before a trip to the repair shop (Plaubel Makina)
