Hi Don -- These are interesting gear... The GW670III Pro will focus to 1 meter. Here's some more data on it. You might enjoy this site: http://members.aol.com/dcolucci/fuji670.htm

 

56mm x 68.5mm frame size (vs 82.6mm for 690)

Two stroke film advance

Additive auto-reset frame counter; film memo holder on back.

10 exp on 120 film, 20 exp on 220 film, selector lever on top cover (film pressure plate needs to be positioned consistently too)

Leaf shutter speeds 1 - 1/500, T. No self-timer, no meter.

Lens with 5 elements in 4 groups; has stops from 3.5 to 32 with 5 aperture blades, and focus to 1m.

Lens has 67mm filter diameter and also 70mm outer threads.

Non-interchangeable 90mm f/3.5 EBC Fujinon lens diagonal angle of view 52 deg (vs 58? on 690), about equivalent to 44mm in the 135 format.

Built-in retractable lens hood

Viewfinder: Bright frame, upper and left frame sections move with focusing for parallax correction; has 0.75x magnification, sees 95% field at 1m and 92% at infinity, uses the same diopter correction lenses as Nikon FE/FM/FA/F3.

Rangefinder has 59mm base length (x 0.75 = effective 44.3mm) A fuzzy-edged round rangefinder spot (gold plated beamsplitter, so gold spot on a blue field)

Hot shoe on top plate, X-synch socket low on front left of lens.

Camera W/H/D is 200 x 120 x 128mm; 82mm dia lens barrel, body thickness 41mm

Weight is 1445g (3.19 lb, 51 oz) (1440 for 690)

Shutter releases on top and front of camera, with release lock on front shutter button.

Three strap lugs; two on the left side

 

Important to take up the slack on the film when loading, else the take-up roll will not roll the film tightly, resulting in difficult film advance and fogged edges when exposed film is removed (same advice for other roll-film cameras).
