Sold Fuji GW690II

Karte · Oct 30, 2022

Low roll counter. Perfect working condition. Comes with the original Fujinon cloth bag and cap. Only minor thing to note is the lens shade is very slightly bent in one place, but this is actually good as it makes it a snug fit, and the shade remains in place and doesnt move around freely.

~~$700~~ $650 includes paypal fee and ship to ConUS.

Seems like a fair price for an exceptionally clean copy. If it were a GSW, I'd probably jump on it (I already have a GW). GLWS.

I've had one of these for 30 years, probably the best (series III is a bit easier to get the spool out) all around camera in medium format.
The lens is amazing, negative is huge, you can crop out half the negative and still have a 645 size negative. Noise is my only complaint, loud click when shutter is released. I have a GW690II I bought used from B&H, 30 years ago, never had any problems.

+1. I have the wide-angle one, and it's so much fun to use. Pulling postcard-size negatives out of the soup is a rush. And wow, is it sharp!

Thanks for all the superlatives about the camera. It is indeed one of my all time fav film cameras that I've used. Shot slide film on it, and they look amazing!

Yeah, I have one like yours, and a GW690III, and a GSW690III. The lenses on these cameras are quite well optimized. Rangefinder lenses don't have to sit in front of a mirror box, or cast an enormous image circle. Being absolutely mechanical and a mainstream professional camera means that they'll be around for a long while. The counter on this camera (these can be tricked) indicates something like 715 total snaps of the shutter.
