Well done Rob, they are beautiful cameras. Use it for a year and you'll look like Arnie or Sly. Have you got a big tripod ready?

Excellent choice Rob. I inherited a GX680 II as my first ever camera. I've since used a number of different cameras, but the Fuji is the one I grab first. There are a couple of guys on here - Thomas Sauerwein comes to mind first - that do really great work with the GX680. I'm sure you will love it. I just picked up the 80mm lens for about $250 on Ebay. At those prices, there is no better value in photography today IMO. Take care.

I am hoping my Bogen 3021PRO will work... if not, then I forsee a quick trip to a camera shop.

Those lenses are achingly sharp. Now you'll need to budget for an APO enlarger lens to wring it all out! Have fun, that's a great, versatile rig.

My first MF is a holga. 10 rolls through it so far

It will only get better (or at least sharper).

I love everything about shooting MF.... From loading the film into reels, archiving is easier, and the quality is just awesome....

Not to mention contact sheets are easier to examine! (Old eyes )

Well... five rolls down... only one roll for what the camera was designed for... and yet to do a portrait. I will probubly do a couple today as the day goes on.

Hopefully I will have all my slides and negaties back by thursday
