Just a quick test of the GW 690. FP4+ in D76. Ilford MGIV RC Pearl. Lightly toned in old sepia. I want to print it on fiber, with some sky burning, when I get a chance. Still, I'm happy that the camera works...
The Texas Leica as it was nicknamed.... Nice camera.. I have thought about buying one myself a few times as they are sleepers, and not too wrapped up in the cult craze yet like many others (ie mamiya 6)
You will love it, the Fujinon lens on these is a absolute cracker. I drowned my original GW690 and replaced it with the GW680 and then proceeded to drop it on some rocks...it still works but is in a bit of a state...kind of spoiled the resale value. I did prove that they are strong though!
Andrew- I was so impressed with the GW690II, after processing 5 rolls, I bought a GSW690II (the wide angle version). I got the GW for under $300, including shipping, and the GSW for about twice that. It took me about 2 months to get the first, at a price I liked, on ebay. I'm developing the first roll from the GSW as I type this (fingers crossed....). When I made this print, I did an 8x10 portion of a negative enlarged to 20x24. It was very sharp.
