Fuji G617 at Wiesendanger Falls
In the midst of the winter storm we experienced one of our staff decided to get out for a wintry hike in the Gorge with his Fuji G617. The G617 is a medium format panoramic camera that only gets four 6x17cm exposures per roll of 120 film. It has a fixed lens (the GX617 is the more complex model with interchangeable lenses) with zone focusing. One nice thing about a zone focusing camera like this is you can leave the lens cap on until the moment you are ready to make the exposure, whisking off the cap for the 1-2 seconds necessary and then replacing it before frozen spray from nearby icy waterfalls has a chance to build up on your lens.
We thought we would share this image of his Fuji in the wild, the view through the viewfinder and the resulting image (plus a bonus horizontal take on the same scene). Film used was Fomapan 100 - a sneaky fun B&W film that flies under a lot of radars.
