It is also adjustable for two different film formats with a switch on the pressure plate as shown below. And with a viewfinder magnification of 0.7x it is enough to keep both eyes open without much disorientation. This enables the shooter to keep their eye on the subject without removing it from the viewfinder to check aperture and shutter settings. That being said, the numbers on the aperture dial are large enough to be seen through the viewfinder. No doubt it’s up there but I can’t say it’s significantly brighter/more contrasty/ clearer than the Leica MP or Plaubel Makina. Loads of people swear it’s the best finder in any rangefinder camera but I’m hesitant to make that claim. Speaking of the red dot, many a reviewer have also noted the more advanced rangefinder/viewfinder than any Leica, as it not only corrects for parallax, but also corrects for frame size as the focus distance changes. I don’t have any empirical evidence but I’d say it’s even quieter than the leaf shutter in my Yashica Mat 124G. Kind of an unnerving feeling till you realize that you can advance the film. You don’t hear it unless it’s virtually silent in your surroundings out on any street with normal activity you don’t even know if the leaf shutter lens took the shot it’s so quiet. If you thought that legendary “kiss” shutter sound of Leica Ms were quiet, you’ve never shot a Fuji GF670. It’s roughly the same weight as a Leica M with a 50mm Summilux.

At just 1kg, it’s significantly lighter than its other portable medium format brethren such as the Mamiya 6/7 or Plaubel Makina 67. A decades later sequel is no stranger to us these days and I’d say the Fuji GW670/ Voigtlander Bessa III is more Bladerunner 2049 than Dumb and Dumber To.

The overall shape of the camera is very close to that of the Voigtländer Bessa II of the 1950s from which it is derived from. Why the perplexing discrepancies? Because they can? All are made in the same factory in Japan by Cosina.

There are actually 3 versions of the same identical camera which has lead to some confusion: The Fujifilm GF670 Professional in black for the Japanese market and the Voigtländer Bessa III in black and Fujifilm GF670 in silver for export.

Though it may look like it’s from far removed times, it was actually introduced this century in 2008. Like a 1930’s gangster, this box of metal and glass is known by many names: The Fuji GF670 aka the Voigtlander Bessa III aka The Poor Man’s Makina aka The Real Texas Leica.
