The Fujifilm GF670W Professional is the wide-angle companion to the GF670, released in 2011 after a prototype showing at Photokina 2010, and sold abroad in Voigtlander Bessa III W (667W) guise. Like the GF670 it shoots switchable 6x6 or 6x7 frames on 120 or 220 film.
Its EBC Fujinon 55mm f/4.5 - around a 28mm equivalent in 6x7 - sits in a rigid barrel rather than on the GF670's bellows, so despite the family resemblance this is a fixed, non-folding body. It keeps the coupled rangefinder, aperture-priority auto and manual exposure, built-in metering and leaf shutter of its sibling, with framelines suited to the wider view.
Made in small numbers at the very end of Fuji's film-camera story, the GF670W is considerably rarer than the GF670 and has become something of a collector-meets-user cult item, prized by landscape and documentary shooters who want a wide, metered 6x7 rangefinder that fits in a coat pocket. UK listings are infrequent and prices reflect that scarcity.
Because there is no folding mechanism, used checks shift to the usual rangefinder and electronics points: confirm the meter reads sensibly against a known reference, the rangefinder patch aligns at infinity, and the frameline mask switches correctly between 6x6 and 6x7. Inspect the front element and its filter thread for knocks (the wide lens leads an exposed life), test the shutter across the range including B, and favour boxed examples with caps and hood - completeness carries a real premium on a camera this scarce, and spare parts are effectively nonexistent.
