I got a GW690iii the day before yesterday. Shot one roll at work(I'm a university staff photographer) covering a commencement ceremony a couple hours after I got it, no chance to process yet. Going to shoot some Rollei Retro 80s today and run it tonight if time and house duties allow.

I struggled with the decision between the 65 and 90. Got the 90 mainly because it's a 3.5 instead of a 5.6.

Holy thread resurrection! I have both cameras, but I opted to get the older II series as I liked the look better, the only semi-important trade off was the press to release spools. Plus it was a great deal cheaper. I slapped on two hotshoe bubble levels, a pair of eyecups, and optech weight reducing straps. The cameras are tough, I banged around the gw690 for a good month straight over the summer on vacation, shot every day with it putting a good 100+ rolls through it. The negatives you get are just stunning. Both focal lengths are great, and I would recommend to get either one, or both ideally.

Enjoy your camera! and be prepared to burn though film =]
