Fujifilm Medium Format Lens Database

Fuji makes the very interesting GX 680 III camera. It is similar in size and weight to the huge Mamiya RB/RZ system but you get modern electronics and the same perspective controls that you'd find on the front standard of a view camera.

The heart of the Fuji GX680 system is an impressive perspective control camera body and a large lens lineup for it. Modern lens design techniques, coupled with special optical glass and Fuji's exclusive Electron Beam Multicoating (EBC) means impeccable performance and superb quality.

Specifications of lens movements on the GX680III camera body are: rise and fall is 15mm/13mm; tilt is 12° up and 12° down; swing is 12 degrees left and 12° right, and Shift 7.5mm left and 7.5mm right. Most GX680 lenses will handle one complete movement on the 6x8cm format, but some will vignette when two or more movements are combined.

• Fuji GX680 lenses now feature built-in shot-counters - M (memory) • The M lenses will work on the older 680 models, but without the shot-count feature • All Fujinon Lenses are multi-coated in Fujifilm's exclusive EBC (Electron Beam Coating) process, virtually eliminating ghost images and flare and ensuring superior light permeability

The Fujinon 190mm f8 GXM SF lens is uncorrected for spherical aberrations to produce a soft focus effect. The soft focus effect is most pronounced at full aperture. If the aperture is stopped down to f16 or more, the subject will turn out as sharp as that in a picture taken with an ordinary lens.

Note! With traditional soft focus lenses of this type, optimum focusing must be done at the shooting aperture. This lens allows wide open focusing and features an automatic diaphragm, but the true point of focus will shift somewhat when the aperture stops down. To help avoid this, the stop-down preview lever on the lens has a lock which can be used to set the diaphragm to the chosen working aperture.
