Fuji GX680 III
The GX680 III is the third iteration of Fuji's 6x8cm, medium format, studio camera, manufactured between 1998 to 2007. Revisions were made to the materials of the camera body, as well as cosmetic design changes, with the net result being a camera lighter in weight than its predecessors. The power system of the GX680 III was also updated to allow it to use three CR123A batteries (or an optional 6x AA battery pack) in place of the earlier rechargeable NiCad battery packs. Additionally a new film holder IIIN was introduced for the GX680 III. This updated film holder allowed interchangeable masks for the 6x4.5, 6x6 and 6x7 formats. These new film holders also had an updated battery design that allowed for easier changing.
The GX680 III camera is large but versatile and features interchangeable lenses, finders, and film backs. It features a front standard that can be shifted and tilted in a similar way to large format cameras, allowing manipulation of depth of field or control perspective. It has an electronically-controlled leaf shutter, capable of speeds from 1/400th of a second out to 8 seconds. It has both manual and aperture priority exposure modes, rotating film backs, and even data recording onto the film. The GX680 III is an all electronic camera; the durability of the circuit boards and internal electronics remains to be seen.
