W/NW: Portraits with shallow DOF

Do you know if this is useable on a Fuji GW690III? How much would this cost?

Nick,

Fuji released a macro attachment for their 645 point-and-shoots, but I don't think such a device has ever been made available for the GW/GSW690 line of cameras.

As for mounting the "auto-up" designed for the G690 on the newer GW/GSW690 (if you can find one, because it is a very rare item), I don't think it would be an easy job. First, filter size is not the same (72mm for all of the old G690's lenses and 67mm for the new GW/GSW690) and second, the built-in lens hood on the GW/GSW690 would have to be removed in order to allow mounting of the macro attachment.

I paid 80 Euros last year in a used camera shop in Paris for the macro attchment. Quite expensive for such a basic device, but the dealer wanted to sell it as a lot with an unattractive GM670 camera, so I had to raise the bid to convince him to split the lot. In fact, I was rather happy to pay the price asked, as it was the first G690 "auto-up" that I had ever seen for sale.

Cheers,

Abbazz

f/1.5 @ 1/15s, TriX pushed to 1600. Cropped to remove a distracting face from the side.
