Hello everyone! Many years ago, I owned an early Fujica 690 and also the 65mm f/8 wide-angle lens. I sold the camera, but the 65mm had been hiding in a drawer. I found it again some time ago and bought a "new" camera. I remember giving away the viewfinder that came with the lens as well, as it seemed too big for me, and the overall view in the camera viewfinder actually corresponds pretty accurately to the angle of view. Now I bought the same (or so I thought) viewfinder again from the eBay seller "Kinoptik" in Prague. Fujica Finder.jpgI was very surprised by the bright lines reflected in it! Not for the 65mm lens, which corresponds to about 28mm in 35mm format, but a very strange structure made up of 35mm, 50mm, and all sorts of other markings. 65mm Brightlines Fujica-690.jpgHas anyone seen something like this before, or knows what it is? I'm grateful for any information. In any case, the viewfinder is unusable for normal purposes with the 65mm lens. Best regards, Thomas
 
So time passed by and I would like to tell you that I returned the finder to the seller with no problems.
There seems to be no more information about this finder...
Just to finish this thread.
Best regards, Thomas
