Up for sale is a used Fujica Fuji GW690 6x9 medium format film rangefinder camera, aka "the Texas Leica". This camera produces big, beautiful 6x9 negatives and slides, which is the largest non-panoramic medium format, and you get 8 on a roll of 120 film. The camera is the original version, with no built-in lens hood. The condition is about an 8 of 10, there is some paint loss on the black trim, as well as scratches on the bottom and top plates. Everything works well, including the viewfinder and rangefinder. It includes the screw in plain diopter which is sometimes missing from these cameras. Counter reads 273, which is supposed to indicate number of exposures (x10). The shutter is properly timed, and the EBC multicoated glass is clean and clear. The focusing helical moves smoothly.

Asking US$449 + shipping/insurance. Paypal OK.

Just as a note to the person that purchased the camera I've been shooting with the super wide version of this on an extended loan agreement with a friend and it's simply a wonderful camera with a typically superb Fuji lens. Enjoy! I've been looking for the 90mm lens version for a while now but missed this notice!

I've been looking for a while! Even purchased at 6x9 negative carrier before obtaining the camera. Super excited!
