I've seen the moniker, "Texas Leica" applied to this camera.

Used purchase from B and H: Christmas gift to myself.

    Great ! I did the same for my birthday this year. Nice camera, not so good for portrait but I love its sound!

    @oliv0380 Aye, this camera will not take pictures without loudly announcing "CLICK."

    Oooooooh! That was once one of my "must have cameras". Went for Leica instead, more compact and silent. But really beautiful camera, that Fuji.

    @srcardoso Using a friends Kiev 6 sparked an interest in these medium format cameras, and this was my solution. I look forward to see what I discover.

    I have the GSW 690 II! I have a sweet looking strap for it, and it takes beautiful pictures. One issue for me is that since it is so heavy, I often don't like lugging it around the city. It was looking for a medium format camera that was "indestructible," since I am not known to be the most gentle with my cameras. Hope yours is getting lots of use!

    @honeygrahams224 Thank you for your enthusiastic encouragement. Just finished roll 2, almost half through 3rd roll. It is exciting.

    Oh, yes, Texas Leica indeed! I have a GSW 6x8, but as it's really very big, not easy to travel with it, almost didn't use it (besides one trip to scotland a few years ago and some other occasions: www.lomography.com/homes/vicuna/cameras/3351558-fuji-gsw-68… ), so I decided to sell it...

    @vicuna Man, these cameras came in all the 120 formats.

    @neufotomacher yeah, 6x9 or even 6x17 (aka "The Beast") as well! The 6x17 is impressing for panoramas, but is huuuge and heavy!

    Now we're talking! Lovely camera! It may be one day that I buy the Fuji GSW 690 II.
