<p>Good work, but:</p><ul><li>I'm surprised to hear of a "GW670".

Are you sure this isn't a misdescribed GW670II or GW690? If it does

exist, it must have been for export only, and I can hardly believe

that it came out <em>anywhere</em> three years before the

GW690.</li><li><em>"Most people believe this lens is similiar to the

65mm interchangable lens for the Fuji G690 camera models."</em> You

may wish to put "later (and faster and rarer)" or similar

before "65mm". Most 65mm lenses are f8.</li><li>You may also want to

mention the <a

The Idea of a 3:1 proportions is fine but a 28mm fov is not wide enough for pano shots even the Hassy swc has a 24mm lens on 35mm fov equivalent. I like to see at least 90 degree 21mm on 35mm format before cropping the top and bottom of the picture. What I mean is it has to be more than a moderate wide angle. Now the Mamiya 7 has a great 43mm lens on 67 format and a pano kit too if you want to start with a 21mm equivalent on 35mm format before cropping, and a lot of other MF offer wide angle lenses and some pano options either with pano mask for their interchangeable backs or a pano kit that uses 35mm film inside a MF film chamber exposing a larger than 35mm portion of the film for real Pano shots. I am sure the Fuji takes great street shots at 39 degrees but for pano IMHO there are better ways to go.

Harvey,

 

If you want wide, you'll have to turn to the ancestor of the GSW690 camera. The interchangeable lens G690/G690 BL/GL690 rangefinder cameras can be equipped with a 50mm superwide lens, which offers the same field coverage as a 21mm lens on 135 or a 43mm lens on 6x7. And the big 6x9 negative offers some real estate if you need to crop to panoramic format.

Cheers,
