WAn Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Hello, what is closest focusing distance for the combo Fuji 6x9 rangefinder (1st model) and 180mm lens? I own the GW6x9III but have no information about the model I... Thanks Andrey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben conover Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Hi, I think minimum focus distance is about 2.5 meters with the 180mm lens. http://www.dantestella.com/technical/g690bl.html Cheers.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben conover Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Andrey, your portfolio is outstanding. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAn Posted August 29, 2006 Author Share Posted August 29, 2006 Thanks again, Ben. But if I could find a R/F with 180mm that focus at least at 1.5m, the portfolio would be even better! :) What a pity that Fuji has discontinued their 6x9 rangefinders... I don't know what they are thinking about.... It's unbelievable... Just unbelievable... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_evans4 Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 <p>Two and a half metres, as written up <a href="http://camerapedia.org/wiki/Fujica_G690#Lens_overview">here</a>.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben conover Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Tried a Koni-omega? not sure how close the focus disatnces are, but the cameras have a cult following and are a very sold machine, a few lenses to choose from including a very wide one. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAn Posted August 29, 2006 Author Share Posted August 29, 2006 Peter, thanks for the link, quite useful! Ben, no, I haven't tried it. The camera is quite rare here in Russia. But you gave me the idea, I'll bear it in my mind. P.S. I'm still cherishing the crazy hope that after all that digital madness abates, Fuji will reintroduce their GW (now IV) 6x9 serie with interchangeable lenses that all can focus as close as 1 m ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_evans4 Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 <p>Did you notice that there's a <a href="http://www.lallement.com/pictures/lenses.htm">close-up attachment</a> that makes the 100mm lens usable as close as 0.58m? (No, I have no idea where you'd find one of these.)</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAn Posted August 30, 2006 Author Share Posted August 30, 2006 "This close-up attachment reduces the minimum focusing distance of the 100mm "normal" lens to 0.58m, while RETAINING RANGEFINDER COUPLING." (!) Peter, I didn't know about his. Thanks a lot! You seem to have an excellent collection Fuji r/f related links :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_evans4 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 I'm glad to have been of some help. (But knowing that this accessory exists is one thing, finding an example -- at any price, let alone a palatable price -- quite another!) I don't know of any links that aren't already in the Camerapedia article, which therefore might be a good base for your further explorations.
