Hi Friends,
Have been using my hasselblad 500 cm with 50 and 150 mm lens for over a year.
Always felt to bridge the gap with a 80 or 100.
However, got a chance to pick up a Fuji GW 690II in working condition bit beaten up for less than 200$ and jumped on it.
Always wanted a 6x9 negative.
Now am thinking of getting a cla done, cleaning the lens and the rangefinder.
Any idea where I can send it for service ?
And it would be great to let me know a ball park estimate of the cla .
Regards,
Abhishek

If you're in the US, Frank Marshman is a go to Fuji repair person. I don't have contact info though. You're going to love the big negatives from the gw690ii!

Congrats on the Fuji! Excellent choice- GW690 remain my favorite film camera of all time.
Theses cameras are very simple to work on (I did a CLA on my 690 myself, although I'm not confident enough in my skills to offer services to strangers)- I don't imagine the service will be expensive.

i haven't done a CLA myself but my sense is that the camera is so big and uncomplicated that a local repair person could do it. but frank is a known for his fuji expertise. i sent him a ga645zi for CLA, can't remember the price though.
