Does anyone shoot with a Fuji 680? I just got a GX680III yesterday and am super excited to get some film in it.
Any owners out there care to share thoughts, pics?
Anyone have parts they want to sell? Particularly the 6x6 film mask and the 80mm extension rails.

did you get a waste level finder or the prism?

i don't have a 680, but i have this:
with wlf and prism finders, 90mm f3.8 and 180mm f4.5, 120 film back and polaroid back.it's as heavy as three bricks (four with the prism on), and impossible to hold for more than a few minutes without fatigue. composing with the wlf is super tricky for me (i'm too used to prisms), but focusing is a dream with either finder due to the huge view area. i guess that's more about med-format cameras than your specific one though.
your first MF or are you a veteran? reason for purchase?
- I've got a similar set-up, but I use the wlf. I can't cope with the extra weight of the prism.Tungsten

Fuji just announced a new medium format camera yesterday....
the GF670w. Probably won't buy it but it's nice to know someone is still developing new film cameras.- bizarre - that's got to be the first new film camera in ages.callitropsis
- Yeah, and Kodak just released a new Portra colour neg film to replace 400NC and 400VC.Tungsten

I got the waist level default one. Pic of the camera below. 80mm lens with the wide angle bellows.
I used to pretty much live in a darkroom but I have been shooting digital for years. Trying to get off the computer more... *bangs head on desk.
