I have and really enjoy using the Fuji GW690ii...huge negatives that remind me a bit of my old LF days. Occasionally, I want something a bit wider, so I'm considering a GSW690 (65mm lens). Any major differences between the two cameras? Anything to look out for? Thanks

So far as I can see, only difference is focal length. I owned a GSW690 III, great camera.

It's a great camera. For landscaping, forest and architecture.
One minus is, that in viewfinder can't see right, down corner of photo. Hier is lens

I have both ,the gw690 is a 111 and the gsw690 is a 11 , I actually prefer the 11 body for film loading . obviously the 65mm lens is a bit slower than the 90mm but otherwise I believe the same.

Dayrell, I have actually seen some of your work with these cameras on Rangefinderforum. Very inspiring, especially those window-lit interiors. Were those handheld?

Timothy Hyde Very faltering words, thanks very much . Yes they are hand held but with the 90mm f3.5 lens I think they would be difficult with the slower lens.
