VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Everybody loves a good ol’ camera talk video, amirite? Well, behold! Here’s a video where I talk about 2 cameras - the Fuji GA645Zi and the Fuji GW690 II. I’m saying “goodbye” to one and “hello” to the other.
The GA645Zi is truly one of my favorite cameras. It’s compact with an ultra-sharp zoom lens and all the features I love. I mean just look at it. Such a foxy-looking camera. I’ve had it for 7 years, but it’s only taken me 1 year to finally admit that it’s the wrong camera for me. This camera is ideal for a photographer that likes to take their camera everywhere, takes photos of their own life, shoots street scenes - a photographer that takes a lot of photos but wants the look and resolution of medium format.
Well, guess what. I’m not that photographer.
I don’t take many photos. I’m slow, contemplative, masochistic. I, for some stupid reason, need my photos to cost more per exposure. I need each photo to be a slow, often-frustrating endeavor with endless possibilities for things to go wrong. Why do you think I’m so drawn to large format and 6x17? High-stakes photography that’s nearly impossible to justify to people…that’s my style of photography.
Enter the Fuji GW690 II. They call it “the Texas Leica”. That’s because it looks like a Leica ate an entire steer. Its massive 6x9 negative packs plenty of bank account-draining resolution into a roll of 120. It is entirely mechanical (it doesn’t even have a battery) and it won’t help you out with jack squat. You gotta do everything on your own. But don’t screw up, because each exposure will cost you $2.50-$3.00.
Yes. This is the perfect camera for me.
