Hi folks,
some time ago I was looking for a Fuji GW690, found one from a very nice member of this board, bought it in perfect condition.
Then the shoulder strap lose itself and the camera crashed on tarmac. The whole viewfinder system smashed into a million pieces as did my heart. After pulling out alot of my hair I sent the camera to a professional repairshop.
I recently got the camera back, but the viewfinder focusing-system was not calibrated correctly. Now I'm a little sceptical about the quality of the repair-job.
When I look through the viewfinder the 'illuminated' framelines/guideline do look strange. These are not four constant lines on each side of the frame, but instead they seem to be shivered in small parts.
Symbolic example:
Framelines do look more like ___ ___ _____
not like _____________
I'm not sure if it was like that before the crash.
Can someone send me am photo of the view through his/her own Fuji GW690, so that I can make sure, that my camera is repaired correctly.
Thank you very much for your help.
Happy holidays!
Cheers,
Moritz

The frame lines are not a entirely continuous rectangle, but the arrangement is regular and symmetric. On each edge, there should be a dot for the corner, then a interruption of maybe a tenth of the line length, then a continuous line for the central 80% (and then the edge arrangement in reverse).

Here are user manual pics of the frame lines

Thank you. The symbolic image give a good idea.
Could someone nevertheless make a photograph through the viewfinder, so I have some proof that my fuji is absolutly flawless.
Thank you for your help.

Film transport and shutter release
Film transport and shutter release
Dear RFF-community,
now the fuji is back from the repairshop for the third time.
And now the paralaxe-correction in the viewfinder doesn't move while turning the focus.
Is this camera going ever to be working again before film dies completely? :bang:
Another problem: I'm able to press the shutter, even if i forgot to use the advance-lever for the 2nd time. It results in images which are partly double-exposed. (and consequently the film counter gets all wrong..)
I'm shure that Fuji have prevented accidental pressing of the shutter when the film is not properly advanced (by pulling the lever 2 times).
Is that correct?
I want to be shure whats wrong before sending it in for the forth time.
Thank you for your help again,
cheers moritz
PS: Attached are two strips of negative
1) normal transportation
