If you own a Leica M camera, you’ll feel right at home with this SOFORT. Pick it up, adjust the focal length, compose the view, and shoot. Hey! Déjà vu.
First, estimate the focus.
The LEICA SOFORT has two gears: The range is 0.6 to 3 meters, and 3 to infinity. This is the defining characteristic of Leica M lenses. The Fujifilm Instax Mini 90 is the definitive prototype of the Leica SOFORT. The Fujifilm version lacks this focal length ring.
Second, the rangefinder.
The Leica viewfinder is really bright and comfortable. The rangefinder viewfinder isn’t Leica’s patent, but it’s the heart and soul of Leica. The viewfinder on the Fuji mini90 isn’t as good as the Leica SOFORT.
Third, there are square and round shapes.
Leica cameras have a square and round design. They might not seem like they have a design, but they’re actually more classic. Sofort also has a classic combination of square and round shapes. Leica’s other SL digital camera also has this concept, with a simple design and no unnecessary lines. This SOFORT is a genuine Leica produced by Fujifilm.
