35mm . It is called Fujifilm DL Super Mini or Tiara (in Japan). It has a killer 28mm lens (4 elements in 4 groups - two elements aspherical) but it has the bad habit of going to sleep very often and reset flash modes (uses flash way too often for my liking). I need to go and scan some of my negatives for samples. Prices are astronomical and not justified in my opinion.

Here is how it compares to other compacts (sizewise).

Thanks for that! I own a mju:1 - and I quite like that camera; the Fujifilm is even smaller and sports a more desirable lens ... We'll see; I'm not sure I want another film compact at this point.

Anyhow, somewhat related: This came about during an attempt at a safety shot tonight; you'll find it in the outtakes thread.

"Shooting a classic" ... Yes, there's film in there, but I have trouble getting into the right groove to shoot that way at the moment. But it's getting better ...

Captured my chrome MX in some decent morning light a while back. I need to use the little beauty more often.

I originally made this photo back at the beginning of SiS (it's my "SiS rig") to post in the discussion thread over there...but then forgot about the photo.

Great photo, Mike.
With the graininess, it reminds me (in good ways) a little bit of some of the French pointillist paintings (of the late XIX and early XX centuries).

One of my two current favorite small-format cameras.

Used each camera to capture the other with their respective vintage lenses.
