Pentax 6X7 / Fuji GW670

The Fuji is not well suited to specialized types of photography such as macro work, architectural work, and (obviously) i use the GW690III (the 90mm lens in this case is wide angle) and i'd say quite well suited for specialized types of photography: landscape (lightweight, mechanical, fast working, can be handheld, good when hiking), photo-journalism (fast focussing, outstanding results for whole magazine pages) and some kinds of architecture (depends on how you work - i mount it vertically and use it as if it had a built in shift (crop the foreground in tha lab). i am very satisfied with that camera but must admit that i use a 6x6 system (psix) with 50, 80, 120mm lenses for other purposes. and i decided very conscious for a range-finder with fixed lens. so i am not disappinted by it's limitations. berko |

Pentax 6X7 / Fuji GW670

I use a GSW690, which is similar to the GSW670. A friend uses a Pentax 67. We're both pretty happy. The main problem with the Pentax is weight - which is still not too bad. Both cameras are best used on a tripod, but the Fuji may be a bit easier to hand hold. (Both can be successfully hand held.) The Pentax has a through the lens meter available. Solved (almost) the weight problem for the 67-II (and three lenses) by fitting a smaller "roll on" suitcase with foam to hold the 4 pieces, plus a slot for filters. As some famous photographer once said, "If you can't drive there, screw it." I hand hold almost all my shots. The 11x14 prints from negs taken outdoors almost never show camera shake. Indoors, the shutter speed often needs to be slower, and there may be some shake occasionally visible. I have never felt I wanted more lens sharpness. The mirror has a separate release on the -II model, so you don't have to use the self timer to get the mirror shaking done before the exposure. Bill |
