Robert, Iceland's on my to-do list, but not for the immediate future. Maybe a few years down the line… I had actually suggested it as a potential spot for my honeymoon last year, but while the idea wasn't dismissed immediately, it wasn't the ideal trip at the time.

I scanned some of the very basic test roll this morning, and I wasn't expecting much. I have a few freebie rolls of iso800 film that expired in 2003, and give it to a very cheap lab to process. I ran through the roll by adding a few extra minutes to my morning walk to work on a drizzly day – absolutely nothing special. Yet I have to say that I'm quite impressed. At it's 'telephoto' setting the geometric distortion is well corrected, which is my most important characteristic. And I also took a set to check near focus and resulting background blur, and was really impressed by the sharpness of the near ground and the smoothness of the background. This little Fuji ZI isn't a replacement for my big Fuji GX, or my other ZI, but I never thought that my 'daily carry' camera could be a medium format.
