Anyone here owns a Fuji Natura S?

I was wondering if anyone owns a Fuji Natura S?
How much was it sold for in SGD during its hey days?
TIA

The black 24mm f1.9? Was going for about $450 to $500 IIRC. Hard to come across one nowdays. Got mine not very long ago for about $400. Rather pricey but I love the cam!

Was pretty popular in Japan. However, for a point and shoot film cam, I personally think it's rather pricy. The batch that I saw was made in Indonesia and built quality was a little plasticy. Nevertheless, the marketing was at the 24/f1.9 lens which is pretty hard to come by even on a changable lens camera.

It's has a big group of fan in Japan though...

Not sure. But the ones that I saw in Japan were made in Indonesia. It's no difference from other plastic PnS bodies. That's how they make it affordable in small quantities and sell it only specific markets.

It's a pretty neat design, basic yet functional. 24mm/f1.9, the application is pretty wide. With a 400 film, can shoot pretty nice night street scene.

If you have a chance, get hold of the Natura 1600 film. Though it's slightly more to the expensive side, the colour saturation is pretty high and really nice to shoot indoors wide open at low light!

the natura classica is made in indonesia...i believe the natura NS would also be made there. since it's released at the same time.

not sure where the current batch of Natura S (the colourful models) is made in though
