DEAR LIST,
Below is an e-mail from a friend who is searching for info for
lenses (to decide which to buy and where he might find them) for the Fuji
GX860III which he already bought.
Does anyone on this list know where he can find the info and where he might
purchase the lenses he wants? We have already found one lens each at
Adorama and B&H but need more info on the whole line of lenses and who might
be selling more of them. The camera is out of production so he knows he
will have to buy mostly used lenses.
CHEERS!

Bob,
Just picked up a Fuji GX 680III camera. It's a medium format with lens
swings, tilts and a lens board that raises and lowers. Friggin
beautiful camera. It's discontinued so I picked it up used for a song.
Going to fit one of the digital backs to it. There are 17 lenses
available for it but I'm having trouble finding accurate info on them
online. Do you know of a site or form that may be of some help?
James
I do not see how one can answer this without knowing what James wants to do
with the camera. Expecially focal lengths, maximum apertures, and coverage.
Also, I think it would probably be a mistake to get 17 lenses even if he
could afford them.
Does that camera have a coupled rangefinder? If so, it might be a problem
finding lenses unless he is willing to have new cams ground to match the
lenses to the rangefinder. And a problem finding someone who knows the
profiles required for the lenses. Perhaps he might try Lens & Repro in NYC
or Calumet.
