Thank you for sharing with the community, you saved me a few headaches about loading the film ...
Just bought a cheap GSW690, and I can't wait to test it...

Hi everybody, has anyone a copy of the GW9690 manual? The link, mentioned above is dead, and there seems to be no other source for it in the web. If I get a copy, I could also put it on my webpage for other people...
Thanks.

Thanks for putting these two on line, and for Brad Artigue for making them available. The only manual that I have that is original, is for the GS645S, and there are copies of this on-line already.
You of course know about:

Thank you for the .de link; downloaded the FUJI GW690 II from there with no problems.

Most Important instruction (included or not)
Most of the Fuji rangefinder manuals speak to one of the biggest issues of loading mediium format film in 35mm-like film transports. Medium format film will pile up on the take-up spool and bog down halfway through the roll IF YOU DO NOT keep tension on the film as you load the takeup roll and close the camera. This is true of any MF camera like the Fujis, Pentax 6X7 and 67 and others that do not use a removable film cartridge.
Keep tension on the film through the film plane, by holding one finger on the supply roll and a finger on the rewind lever as you close the camera.
