The Fujica G690 was the first of a series of medium-format, interchangable-lens, leaf-shutter rangefinder cameras from Fuji Photo Film.
Fujica G690
The Fujica G690, released in 1968, is a 6×9 interchangable-lens, leaf-shutter rangefinder camera. It looks rather like a large Leica, and anyway is designed to be about as close to a 35mm rangefinder camera as a leaf-shutter medium-format film camera can be. It takes 120 film, 220 roll film, or sheet film: roll or sheet is selected by an "R"/"S" switch (which must be set at "S" for dry-firing). The back simply hinges open (there is no separate film back), and in order to change lens in mid-roll one turns a knob to engage an internal shutter curtain.
The camera is black, with some silver trim around the view- and rangefinder. On the front is a mark that might be a stylized "P" for "professional". It came equipped with a 100mm f/3.5 lens finished in silver. Other lenses available (all in silver trim), were 65mm, 150mm, and 180mm.
