Fujifilm’s Cardia Tiara II is another camera that I thought looked really cool. I love the thin sliding door piece and its film-loading mechanism is particularly interesting: the film door opens only a sliver — unless you disconnect a hinge. It’s almost as if they wanted it to have the same experience of sliding a roll of film in as with a vintage Leica camera but with the convenience of an automatic film-winding motor.
