If you're a heavy duty user or require interchangeable lens system then Nikon FM2/N. Otherwise Fujica V2 is a nice looking fixed lens camera that handles well and takes nice pictures for all casual photography purposes.
<p>I too faced the same problem but with Canon EF-M film camera! Most frames were exposed fine, a small number of random frames were completely blank. When I checked without the film, shutter worked as it should be.</p>
<p>Zeiss Taxona is worth a look. Not exactly a half-frame camera, but square format on 135 film. Fixed lens and no meter. Small enough to carry in the pocket.</p>
<p>Brilliant work! The last one in particular is stellar. Every camera produces admirably good results in your hands Rick, and Pentax 67 is no exception. </p>
<p>You're right Mike. Fuji Tiara Zoom was known as Fuji DL Super Mini Zoom in non-Japanese markets. It's a sweet little camera that does quite OK in good light. Will give it another workout soon and hopefully will have some pictures to share in the future editions of this thread. </p>
