Fujifilm GF670 available again at B&H

I have one like that, German I believe, and I also have two other versions, like this one:


The latter one is good for the Hasselblad, as the lens gets in the way of the knips you screw in directly, but can be a bit fiddly if the release-cable you attach it to is flimsy or non-standard.

Just search for Autoknips and you will find loads online:

You do have the lens hood right? The filter pops on and off in that case in 2 seconds.

Setting the camera to infinity is automatic and second nature for me. I do it without even thinking.

I was just going to say the same thing... It's second nature, you just do it just like you press the shutter to take a picture.

Does it have a standard mechanical cable release socket? If so you might scrounge up one of those "Autoknips" gizmos; a mechanical wind-up self timer that screws into the cable release socket. (Hardly as sleek and handy as built in however.)

I have one of those too. The problem is that it's very tricky to set the cable length correctly. When not set correctly, I can't advance the film because the camera thinks the shutter hasn't tripped when in fact it has. Yet another thing I have to keep track of. I swear I love my GF670.
 
So I ended up at Mr. Rockwell's site, which has become mostly a deals & shopping link site, and posted a link towards B&H for the GF670 in the 5th of May. Find it reproduced here:

New: Fujifilm GF670 Rangefinder Folding Camera.
"Is this the 1930s all over again? The GF670 is a 6x7 cm real medium format camera. It makes ten 6x7cm shots on each roll of 120 film, or 20 shots on 220."

Clicked on the link and redirected to B&H, one is able to add it to cart at the sum of $2199
 

I LOVE my GF670. So much so that I bought 26 rolls of Neopan 400 for it today. Fuji + Fuji.
 
I bought the Cosina Voigtländer Bessa III 667 in 2009, new for Eur. 1400 (in Germany) and indeed it is a great camera, especially for traveling. So far no problems and for a 6x6cm or 6x7cm rolfilm camera that 1000g is very low in weight.

Maidan March 2017 on Fomapan 400 developed in Diafine 2-bath:

 
It is the same camera but cheaper isn't it.
But I would like to state : The more bigger coup Fuji would have possible landed if they designed this rare stuff as 6 x9 !!!!
So as the Fuji Gsw690/670 Gw690/670 series.
With the oportunity to use the same camera also in 6x7 and 6x6.
But today we could only dream from such stuff.
If anybody would trust to bring out today a nice camera witch nearly the same quality as obove we would have to pay more than $ 10.000,- in a smal series.
That would make such camera more exensive so better calculate $ 15.000,-
and to this price you definitive can't smell
more than 20.
So we just could count to the emirates.
A dubai sultan/sheikh is the last photographer on earth to tell manufacturers : "I want such camera you have to built it exclusive to me - and I will pay for. " ...thats not fair !


with regards

The last price of the Voigtländer was Eur. 2200. So not really cheaper ...

Yes I know but at the beginning both were the same? I remember the voigtländer a bit cheaper may be just 100 or 200 bucks.
