Just got up here, presents are still under the tree, but Santa did give me a sneak peek earlier this week
A (pre-loved) Fuji G617 Panoramic camera!
May the wideness commence
Merry Christmas everyone
That Fuji is a thing of beauty, Chris. I had to Google it to remind myself about the camera. Can you change the lenses on this particular model?

I was gonna say ... I bet I can think of at least one man on here who might be impressed by that!
Nice one @Chris Dodkin ... I have high expectations for results!

it is strange that for the most part of my life I am retro based, but not technology

OK I'm old, what does a Wii U do, or is that like a mini me?
@Chris Dodkin ... If you are old...what am I?
It's one of those kids electronic toys that I never got when I was one.
My thinks you got one...albeit analog...of those also.

This is the fixed lens version Paul - the later model had interchangeable lenses.
I managed to find this one at a dealer in minty condition with a low actuation count - it came with it's original Fuji case, but I upgraded to a Pelican to keep it all safe and sound.
Thanks Hamish - I'll do my best!

I see that you have opted for the snazzy orange case. Pelican cases are expensive but they are so well made and tough.

I always wanted an 'Emergency Orange' case, so given the chance I went for it!
Seems that Pelican prices have dropped here in the US due to some stiff competition from similar products - this case with foam interior was 80 quid from Amazon, which seems pretty reasonable given the quality (and orangeness!)

Does it shoot 6x12 @Chris Dodkin.

6x17 in fact - just 4 frames per roll!

Amongst my Christmas tit-bits I had a spare battery for my X-Pro which was rather welcome. After all, they do have a tendency to eat them!
