FUJIFILM--discontinued camera models
...discontinued their last 3 film cameras. Film cameras that by all accounts were of VERY high quality. I guess their commitment to film is not what they claimed it would be.

My mistake, they are keeping the black Klasse W and S. The Natura and silver Klasse models are being cancelled.

Don't recall the Klasse being officially exported, same goes for the Natura. Low production models intended for the home market. None of the Japanese makers did especially well with their upscale, premium-priced p&s film cameras on the N. American market.
They're still making the GF 670, right?

Thought the Natura with the 1.9 lens was axed 5-6 years ago.

No, the GF670 was a single run of 10,000 cameras. They are still working off stock of that run from several years ago.
Yes the 35mm cameras were not for export, but that did not stop many people from selling them on ebay and other places. They are all over China's taobao.

The Natura Classica wasn't a patch on the original fast lens Natura. The original Klasse in Fuji or Rollei form and the latter S/W were a tough sell, much like Nikon and Minolta's premium p&s models. N. Americans generally didn't get the concept or utility of superb optics on a jewel-like, fixed lens camera with AE/auto options.

Is Klasse W the higher end camera compared to S or Natura?
