The GW690 III is a 6×9 cm medium-format rangefinder with a fixed Fujinon EBC 90mm f/3.5 lens (≈40mm full-frame equivalent). Leaf shutter in the lens, no meter, no battery, no AE, no AF, no foam seals to rot. It exists to make the largest possible negative on a roll-film camera you can hand-hold. The nickname "Texas Leica" is fond and accurate — it is comically large.

Before you buy used
- **Frame counter springs** wear; counter may not advance reliably.
- **Light seals** — minimal foam in this design, so seals rarely fail. But verify.
- **Lens shutter speeds** — slow speeds drift; CLA available.
- **Rangefinder calibration** — verify focus accuracy.
- **Body felt and leatherette** — peeling on stored bodies; cosmetic only.
- Service: KEH and Japanese specialists still handle these.
About this camera
Eight 6×9 frames per roll of 120. A "Texas Leica" — a rangefinder so big it feels like a 35mm scaled up by an absurd factor.
