The Fujifilm Klasse W (~2007) is the wide-angle member of Fujifilm's premium Klasse compact camera family, fitted with a Super EBC Fujinon 28mm f/2.8 fixed lens in place of the 38mm f/2.8 lens carried by the Klasse and Klasse S. It shares the same aluminium die-cast body, leaf shutter, CdS metering, and physical aperture ring as the Klasse S, differing primarily in the choice of optic.

Fujifilm introduced the Klasse line in 2003 with the original Klasse, followed by the Klasse S (2004) carrying a 38mm f/2.8 lens. A wide-angle variant, the Klasse W, appeared approximately in 2007, addressing demand from photographers who wanted Klasse-quality optics with a wider field of view — territory the Fuji Tiara had occupied a decade earlier in the Cardia range.
The Klasse W was produced concurrently with the Klasse S in the closing years of Fujifilm's film compact manufacturing. Both were discontinued around 2009 as the market for film cameras contracted sharply. The Klasse W's later introduction and shorter production run make it somewhat harder to find than the Klasse S on the used market.
The Klasse W occupies a specific niche: a 28mm compact with a physical aperture ring and aperture-priority AE, a feature combination that no other manufacturer was offering in this era at comparable optical quality. The closest competition from the 35mm compact world — the Nikon 28Ti, Ricoh GR21 — either lacks aperture-priority or uses a different control philosophy.
The Super EBC Fujinon 28/2.8 is fast enough to be useful in lower light conditions without flash, where the f/3.5 Tiara lens requires more light. For photographers whose primary use cases are street and travel, the Klasse W is the more versatile instrument of the two.
Used prices sit higher than the Klasse S, reflecting the shorter production run and greater scarcity on the secondary market.
Fixed lens — no interchangeable options. Accessories carry over from the Klasse S:
