Buying guide

The GF670 (2008) was jointly developed with Cosina and also sold as the Voigtländer Bessa III (the Fujifilm and Voigtländer models differ only in markings and lens name: Fujinon or Heliar). It switches between 6x6 and 6x7. Check bellows carefully for light leaks and the rangefinder for accuracy. The later GF670W (2011) is a non-folding version with a 55mm f/4.5 lens.
