Fujifilm GF670 Folding Film Camera [Fujifilm Medium Format Folding Film Camera Lands in the UK]

Tweet

While we are now in the age of digital cameras, film cameras are not just ready to roll over and die. In fact, Fujifilm has announced that a new medium format folding film camera has just made it to the UK, worth about 1,700 GBP or $2,500.

The Fujifilm GF670 is built in a die-cast aluminum body along with magnesium alloy components. However despite the said construction, the GF670 weighs only a surprising 1000g (without the battery). It can take sharp photos even at large sizes and perhaps this is attributed to the Gauss-type EBC Fujinon lens which employs six elements in four groups.

The camera also allows easy changing between 6x7cm and 6x6cm formats since a single switch changes both the bright line frame in the viewfinder and the film counter.

Focusing is also easier thanks to the bright and clear double-image rangefinder. The viewfinder is parallax-corrected, and the display automatically changes with the film format selected.

Not bad specifications for a film camera!
