The GW690 is the Texas Leica — a fully mechanical 6×9 medium format rangefinder that takes no batteries, needs no metering, and produces negatives so large they're almost a print! Eight frames on 120, and a fixed EBC Fujinon 90mm f/3.5 lens. The rangefinder patch is bright and accurate, focusing is fast, and the leaf shutter syncs flash at every speed. It's a big camera that makes a big negative and gets out of your way entirely.

No program modes, no electronics, no dependencies. Set your aperture, set your shutter speed, focus, shoot. The coupled EV ring lets you change depth of field while holding exposure constant — rotate aperture and shutter together as one.
