The Fujica 35SE\u00a0used a thumb wheel\u00a0back in 1959 in combination with a coupled rangefinder.\u00a0 In this form I can say it works very well, the only problem for me being that that same location changes my\u00a0aperture on my DSLR and it takes me a moment to get that through my skull.\u00a0 How well the modern implementation works remains to be seen especially without the rangefinder patch.\u00a0 When I first started writing this post most of the scant info about manual focus mentioned the main command wheel for focusing but after reading more info from Fuji itself it seems that it is the sub command dial which will not be as easily done with\u00a0a thumb or even one handed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"frame-outer  aligncenter size-full wp-image-3979\"><span><span><span><span><a href=\"http:\/\/wkoopmans.ca\/notebook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/WallaceK_Fujica-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3979\" title=\"WallaceK_Fujica-1\" src=\"http:\/\/wkoopmans.ca\/notebook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/WallaceK_Fujica-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"415\" height=\"277\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wkoopmans.ca\/notebook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/WallaceK_Fujica-1.jpg 1000w, http:\/\/wkoopmans.ca\/notebook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/WallaceK_Fujica-1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><span class=\"frame-outer  aligncenter size-full wp-image-3977\"><span><span><span><span><a href=\"http:\/\/wkoopmans.ca\/notebook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/FujiX10.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3977\" title=\"FujiX10\" src=\"http:\/\/wkoopmans.ca\/notebook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/FujiX10.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"415\" height=\"275\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wkoopmans.ca\/notebook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/FujiX10.jpg 553w, http:\/\/wkoopmans.ca\/notebook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/FujiX10-300x198.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 553px) 100vw, 553px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fuji has released yet another camera that has peaked my interest, the Fuji X10.\u00a0 It is a small fixed zoom\u00a0lens camera (28-112mm equivalent) with a maximum aperture of F2.0 at the wide end and F2.8 at the telephoto end.\u00a0 All this information is readily available elsewhere so that&#8217;s not really what I want to post [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36,1],"tags":[366,210,81,211],"class_list":["post-3976","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cameras","category-uncategorized","tag-cameras","tag-fuji","tag-fujica","tag-x10"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/wkoopmans.ca\/notebook\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3976"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/wkoopmans.ca\/notebook\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/wkoopmans.ca\/notebook\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/wkoopmans.ca\/notebook\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/wkoopmans.ca\/notebook\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3976"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"http:\/\/wkoopmans.ca\/notebook\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3976\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4001,"href":"http:\/\/wkoopmans.ca\/notebook\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3976\/revisions\/4001"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/wkoopmans.ca\/notebook\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3976"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/wkoopmans.ca\/notebook\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3976"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/wkoopmans.ca\/notebook\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3976"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
