Known as the “Texas Leica,” the Fujifilm GW690 is the only camera of its kind. In a rangefinder-style configuration, the GW690 shoots massive 6x9 medium format images, which is the same aspect ratio as a 35mm film frame, but with more than six times the surface area. So while 35mm film can often produce a good 8 x 10 inch print, your 6 cm x 9 cm images can reach upwards of five feet.

For those looking to get into medium format photography, the Fujifilm GW690 is a great option, too. Although its negative is amongst the largest in the medium format world, its functionality is surprisingly simple and much like a standard 35mm rangefinder. The included Voigtlander VC Meter II helps give you everything you need to make this manual shooter a practical kit in the field without the need for an additional light meter.
