Fujion 75mm f3. The Fuji GA is a medium format point and shoot camera which is much more automated. This one has had the original bellows replaced by Linhof Germany. Another common problem is a sticking shutter but the seller tells me it works fine for now! The rangefinder focus system has a smaller focus patch that a Leica so is said to be less easy to focus. The Moskva-5 rangefinder has a very basic RF and qis uite possibly out of alignment so I always used it at f8-f11 to be safe.

I will see how I get on with focusing the Fuji GS wide open at f3. I now I have a love, and preference for focusing with a rangefinder system vs. Very much looking forward to her arrival! Even though she does not have the red dot Leica badge she will be a valued addition to my camera bag and I hope also it will let me do more film which can only be a good thing! The plan is take the Fuji GS to weddings for some extra film photography.

The camera is not really comparable to the Contax film camera in terms of being able to create dreamy portraits due to the lens fitted GS has the 75mm f3. That said I will be sure to get the best I can from the Fujica! As most of my photography is portraiture I plan to use the Fuji GS for my model photography too.

Here are some test shots with model Roisin. The film scans had a green colour cast but it shows what the GS can do. I bought the GS as the 75mm lens is more suited for portraits but also because the Fuji GS is a folding camera design whereas the Fuji GSW is not making it bigger.

With the lens open to the elements is it also more likely to be knocked vs the GS where it is protected by the cover when folded. It is worth noting that there is also a Fujifilm GSS varient which has a fixed 60mm f4 Fugion lens. Again this camera design is not folding so for me the Fuji GS is the best of the bunch unless you really want a wide lens. If you want a 60mm lens it might be worth cosidering the smaller Fuji GA I use linked above a very small medium format film camera!

For colour film photography I have always shot with Kodak Portra 16o, , for my 35mm and mm cameras. Fuji H is very forgiving in tricky lighting conditions and retains highlight detail well if overexposed. Film is good at retaining highlight detail generally however most people shoot Portra at box speed but Fuji H stops over box speed to get the creamy emulsion look of skin tones.

By overexposing highlights I can exposure for the shadows for the maximum dynamic range and detail captured. For UK weddings light levels can often be low so this might prove very useful! View all posts by matthewosbornephotography.

Regarding the equivalent 35mm focal length, it depends on its orientation. The diagonal is the equivalent to Thanks Calvin. My GS has a sticking shutter so it has not been used for a long time but it is on my list to get repaired.

Luckily my bellows has been replaced prior to me buying it as like you say it is a common issue with this camera. Have you shot more with this camera recently? Recently I got a GS with a leaking bellow, so I had to buy one from eBay and had someone replace it. I thought Linhof is only in the large format business. While using flash light to examine the new bellow, I also discovered some dust and fungus on the rear elements of the lens.

I will need to find a shop to clean it as well… Not as easy to keep as my Mamiya 7! Hi Thomas, sorry to hear your news. I will do a video for YouTube this month hopefully. Yes bellows is common issue. Mine had been replaced before I bought it then it had a sticking shutter issue so not used for years.

I got that fixed and shot some frame this year. Great lens on it. Check out the submission guide here.

I think with the right maintenance, it should be worth the investment if it allows more shooting!

Thank you for the wonderfully detailed side by side review with photo examples. I really like the sharpness of the S but the length of the original is quite nice. I think I might just pick one up. It was stolen. Got 2nd GS; had bellows replaced by Camera Wiz.

Still have it. The lens is breathtaking for sharpness, and I never noticed falloff as a practical matter. I handled at least a dozen GSS cameras over 10 years. More than half of them had damaged lens mounts. The "cowbar" protects the lens because the mount is plastic and has become brittle over time. The procedure is to retract the lens to infinity after use to pull it behild the bar for its protection.

There, it is safe if you only mount the lens cap. Add a filter and it protrudes. Even a small hit on the front of the lens mount will probably break the threads in the focus ring s. NO parts; no repairs. Also have the GSW with its 45mm lens; very much a high end box camera with its zone focusing, but it works given the depth of field.

I enjoyed your article and I appreciated the in depth side-by-side comparison photos. All well done. I live in Houston also and work at UH. I use that bus stop regularly. These are really great photos. I found this article because I am also looking at the GS Much as I love my Fuji cameras, I am going back to shooting film for awhile. I shot a GA for several years and have always regretted selling that camera. It actually was more rugged than it appeared to be. I stopped shooting film when I moved to Houston because I did not have access to a darkroom.

Prior to moving here I worked at a community college in Temple. We had an amazing darkroom there. It was easily as good as the darkroom at UH. Initially, I was hesitant about developing the film at home because of the need for a scanner.

However I think I will be able to afford one later this year. If you have any suggestions on that I would appreciate it. I was thinking about the Espon V Great article!! Steve Boykin. I agree, these cameras are great for street photography but the shutter is VERY noisy. Last the rangefinder patch is pretty small and sometimes difficult to see.

On the plus side, they are very light for MF cameras, easy to load and unload and they have a meter not so frequent with MF cameras. So I found this doing some digging on old, long-forgotten websites still preserved on archive. The other Fuji rangefinders get top marks from owners for lens quality as well, although this is the only formal test I could find.

It received all excellent ratings in the edge performance. After seeing this, you can understand why so many users have been happy! Very good and extensive review! Interesting to see the two side by side as well. I actually owned a GS for a short while but had to return it due to the same bellows and shutter problems. However short it was, I absolutely fell in love with it during that period.

Great feel and quality; if only it was a little more reliable…. I usually use my GAZi for street photography. You might be interested in Duke instagram. Join the Conversation 12 Comments. Cancel reply. Great review. I loved my roll bar. Got stolen and I never replaced it. Fun cameras.

Advertised as in 'excellent condition' but if your definition of 'excellent condition' means a working camera then it's not. The shutter is broke. From a trip with Christopher Magni Kjerholt this morning. Fuji-Holga S, Fujinar 75mm F3. This is test shot for the camera. Testing cameras and new film in Romania. I'm not keen on this pose but I wanted to share another example with this film - it makes greens really pop! Instagram - www. I'm still looking for an extremely portable medium format camera as my every day camera.

A folder should do it. So I give this GS a try. I know about all quirks with it. So far, it seems to have light leaks and biggest issue: it doesn't open its lens completely all the time. I still hope, it will come more with using. I got the impression, the more I shoot, even without film, the more reliable it opens.

Finally the sticking shutter has been repaired so I took it out. Teaching a photography workshop in Birmingham recently, here with Maddison. Explore Trending Events More More.

To close make sure the lens focus ring is set to infinity and the shutter is cocked. Press the knobs on the inside of the lens cover to release the lock and swing the cover towards the body. The light meters has a measuring range of 3. The finder contains a coupled type double image rangefinder for focusing. Bright lines are present with automatic parallax correction to assist in framing.

The camera was thought to complement a 35mm or 4x5 camera for on location shooting, especially landscape and mountain photograps. For this reason Fuji also selected the 45mm lens. Filters of 49mm can be used. Aperture stops on the lens include 22, 16, 11, 8 and 5. The light meter has a measuring range of 3. The viewfinder has a bright frame and parallax correction indicator, it has a 0. Scale focusing is used on the GSW lens with a range of 1m to inf. Click stops at 2 and 5 meter markings.

The viewfinder is a reverse Galilean type with a parallax correction indicator. The 60mm lens was chosen with snapshots in the city, or group pictures in mind, for which Fuji received user feedback saying the 45mm was too wide. In the case of the S version it is protected by a circular "cow bar".

Together with the GSS Fuji released the GS-grip, to be able to turn a flash 90 degrees and avoid vignetting of the vertical film frame.
