Fuji GF670W development announced.

I think I'll have to get one of these if at all possible. Unless, of course, a Mamiya 7 with 50mm lens is available for less...

I was speaking of a nonexistent dream camera, Howard.

I wonder how many Mamiya C TLRs with 55 mm lens pairs you could buy on ebay for the cost of a Fuji 670 W ?

If we want new film cameras to keep being made, we're probably going to have to pay new prices for them.

While it's not up my alley, this looks like a most excellent camera, and a nice vote of confidence that film isn't dead.

A welcome development and more interesting to me than the 80mm camera, but I am sure I will hesitate when the price is announced. My guess it will be similar to the 80mm price.

yes, but how huge would an rz69 be?

Big..... but I think I would like an RB45 (in inches!).


Steve.

Keeping with the overall design conceit of the RB67, it would probably be bigger than my Shen Hao 4x5- which is probably why it was never done. You'd be better off getting a 6x9 Baby Graphic, Bessa II or III, or even a Kodak Medalist at that point.

I dont know about a RB45 style camera being massive, I can only imagine, but I have used a Gowlandflex 4x5 Glamour TLR before and THAT was a massive thing to use compared to my previous hassy and sinar F expeience. A RB45 couldnt be much worse...:-P

It would be about the size of a Calumet CC-400 with the rotating back.
