. . . from 1955, that is. Fuji's first camera, the Fujica Six, was a 6×6 folding viewfinder camera released in 1948. There were six acknowledged models. The line culminated in 1955 with the Fujica Super-6, a 6x6 coupled rangefinder. This camera is light and compact, and my copy is very clean and in excellent shape. My guess is it was stored in a climate controlled environment. It has a Fujinar 7.5cm f/3.5 lens, which produces excellent results if the photog does their part.
For those not versed in film, the 6x6 refers to the 6cm x 6cm film plane, as opposed to the usual 24mm x 36mm of standard 135 film. One only gets 10 - 16 frames per roll on a medium format film camera, but the color depth and detail are incredible. I started shooting film again a couple of years or so ago, and I really enjoy it.
