Manufacturer description
The Fujica GS645W Professional Widens Your Creativity In All Directions!
High 6 x 4.5cm Format Picture Quality
Although the Fujica GS645W Professional looks and handles like an SLR, it is a 6 x 4.5cm format camera. The film frame area measures almost three times that of 35mm film. The large frame size assures superior fine detail quality and enables you to make bigger enlargements. Both 15-exposure 120 and 30-exposure 220 roll films can be used. The 6x4.5cm format also matches photographic paper proportions to provide optimum darkroom printing convenience and no-waste economy.
Amazing Lightweight Handling Ease
Thanks to a super-light weight of only 680 grams and the compact design, you can readily tote the Fujica GS645W Professional along anywhere. Fast-action maneuverability rates exceptional because this is one of the lightest medium format cameras in the class. Since a lot less muscle is required to handle it, long photographic sessions are far less tiring. And the SLR-style body, with palm grip, makes shooting vertical and horizontal frames equally simple.
Superb EBC Fujinon·W 45mm Wide-Angle Lens
The Fujica GS645W Professional mounts an advanced new 45mm wide-angle lens. This f/5.6lens is a 5-component 6-element type for outstanding fine detail and color resolution. The short fixed-lens barrel design helps to enhance carrying ease.
Fast 3-Point LED Exposure Control
A sensitive GPD photocell manual exposure control system assures quick, precise settings. Without taking your eye from the viewfinder you can quickly adjust to changing light conditions with the 3-point LED indicator. Light is measured at the center of the viewfinder. A slight touch of the shutter release button activates the meter.
Bright, Simple Viewfinder
Through the brilliant, uncluttered viewfinder, you enjoy a great view that extends beyond the actual picture frame. The pan-focus capability further simplifies focusing ease by letting you preselect a wide-range depth of field. Parallax correction marks indicate frame boundaries for normal and close-up shooting to eliminate picture cutoff.
Self-Cocking Lens Shutter
Double exposure worries are never a problem with the Fujica GS645W Professional because the lens shutter cocks only when you wind the one-touch film advance lever. So accidents can't happen and spoil your pictures.
Wide-Range Flash Techniques
You can shoot with electronic flash at all shutter speeds to create a limitless range of effects. Daylight synchro, highlight tone effects and fill-in for strong back-light scenes are possible with the versatile lens shutter Any type of flash or strobe can be used with the top hot shoe and front X-sync socket.
Simplified Film Loading
No more pulling and pushing the film advance lever to load or remove a roll. A one-touch button lets you handle these chores with much less fuss and bother.
