Fuji GW680 III ??

[ChrisN]

What's the story with the Fuji GW680 III? I was aware of the 6x7 and the 6x9, but this was a surprise for me. I guess they work as well as the other Fuji RFs, but what do people think of 6x8 as a format? Is anyone using it? How many shots to a roll?

Cheers!

From Dante Stella's excellent website:

GW and GSW680III models are introduced in Japan (6x8 cm, 9 shots per 120 film) to resurrect the obsolete 3x4" format's proportions in a new camera.

It's 4:3 like Olympus and Leica/Panasonic

I passed on a GW680 III a couple of years back, because I thought that $600 USD was a bit pricey. :bang: Oh well.

Have seen two on eBay in last 3 months.

Lots of GX680's on eBay all the time (the one with the bellows and a system camera). However, I have been surprised to see two GW680's in the last 3 months.

If memory serves, David Bram was looking for one a while back. I don't know if he still comes around here, but you can email him through his website.

really a good camera, but the 4:3 format is not my love...
i think 6x6 or 6x7 is better.

With 9 shots per roll, how does one divide the negatives to store in a standard plastic file page? Three sets of three? would that fit the width of the page?
