New medium-format folding camera
February 3rd, 2009 by Ken Hagler

Fujifilm’s killer medium for­mat film cam­era. It has long been only a pro­to­type. We first heard about at last year’s PMA trade show and were able to see a wooden ver­sion of it at Pho­tok­ina in Sep­tem­ber 2008. But now, it’s offi­cial. Fuji­film is weeks away from releas­ing its GF670 Pro­fes­sional medium for­mat film cam­era. Here is our full arti­cle about it.

Out­side of Japan, the cam­era should be released under the Voigt­lander Bessa III 667 name, which Cosina will dis­trib­ute. [The British Jour­nal of Pho­tog­ra­phy]

The ear­lier announce­ment had already raised my inter­est. From the addi­tional infor­ma­tion, it looks like it will be about the same size as a Leica, and smaller when folded. Still no price, but I’ll prob­a­bly buy one when they’re released.
