## FUJIFILM GSW690 II Professional Medium Format Rangefinder Camera

This auction is for the classic and highly collectible **FUJIFILM GSW690 II** medium format rangefinder camera. Known affectionately as the "Texas Leica" due to its large negative size and rangefinder design, the GSW690 II is renowned for delivering exceptionally sharp and highly detailed $6 \times 9\text{cm}$ negatives, which are the largest standard negative size for a non-modular camera. This model features a wide-angle fixed lens, making it an ideal choice for landscape and documentary photography.

### Key Features and Specifications

* **Film Format:** Medium Format, capturing **$6 \times 9\text{cm}$** negatives (yielding 8 exposures on a single roll of 120 film).
* **Lens:** Fixed, high-quality **Fujinon $\text{EBC GW 65mm f/5.6}$** lens.
* **Focal Length:** 65mm (Equivalent to approximately $28\text{mm}$ in 35mm format, providing a desirable wide-angle perspective).
* **Shutter:** Integrated **Leaf Shutter** (allowing for flash synchronization at all shutter speeds).
* **Focusing:** Accurate, bright, and coupled **Rangefinder** focusing system.
* **Build:** Durable, professional-grade construction with a distinctive, extended horizontal body shape. The body is noted for its internal gear train that accurately tracks the number of frames exposed (visible counter on the top plate).

* **FUJIFILM GSW690 II Camera Body** (Black/Gray finish)
