Sold Fuji GW690III new price $650.00

[nanthor]

I'm selling my Fuji GW690III with the soft case and front lens cap (sorry but I am keeping the strap for another camera). The camera is in excellent plus condition with little sign of use, the only thing I could find was some light marring on the back of the top plate where a person's thumb would rest in taking position. The shutter, winder, speeds, aperture, all work perfectly. The viewfinder is crystal clear and the rangefinder properly aligned. I've carefully installed new light seals in the back, these cameras are notorious for the light seals being gummy and loose and this is not a fast or easy thing to do so adds a bit of value to the camera to have them all new and perfect. The camera is big, of course, but quite lightweight for it's size and handles wonderfully. It gives huge 6x9 negatives, the largest standard size you can get before moving to large format cameras. Before I bought this I was worried about the shutter and aperture rings reported to be hard to move due to their position and I can report it is not a problem. I have larger than normal hands and the rings are easily adjusted. The camera has a collapsible lens hood so it is always within easy reach. The shot clock on the bottom is currently less than 200 (x10). Looking to get $750 for this, paypal F&F and I pay shipping in the USA. Price is now lowered to $650.00.

That's a beautiful camera. I have a couple, best medium format rangefinder there is.

Bob’s one of the good guys. I bought a Leica M6 from him recently and everything was just fine. Buy with confidence.

We've deleted all the posts about using PayPal F & F - however....
We do have concerns.
We have seen incidents of scammers targeting sellers (and buyers) with the intention of defeating any PayPal protections.
Please consider this an expression of concern - but please don't continue the discussion within a particular sale thread.

Maybe we can discuss that advice on payment methods in more detail here: https://www.photrio.com/forum/threads/paypal-f-f-friends-and-family.197195/

Highly recommend purchasing from Bob. Over the years, I have purchased a Hasselblad, lenses, and numerous other items from him.

He is definitely top notch!

The writing style of the ad does seem to match previous ad(s), if that’s comforting. So Bob is pretty likely to be the counterparty behind @nanthor.

This is a great deal, great camera.

Hi there, I haven't been keeping an eye on this post of mine but just recently checked it out and was surprised to see so many deleted comments/replies. I wish I had seen them before deletion so that I could respond to them. Assuming they raise questions about my preferred method of payment, rest assured that I have NEVER denied a return/refund to anyone that has ever bought a camera, lens or any other gear from me, for any reason either. Back in the past PP would not only refund payments, but forgive the fees if a transaction was cancelled or refunded. Now, they keep the fees which makes it costly to have a "no questions asked" refund policy. That is the main reason for my way of selling. I would hope after many years of being on several forums I have gained trust. That being said, if the only way you will buy is using G&S, contact me and we will discuss it. Thanks, Bob.
