As revealed by BJP in March, the medium format film camera - known as the GF670 Professional in Japan - will be distributed by Robert White in the UK.

The portable folding bellows camera was jointly developed by Fujilfim and Cosina. The camera's most unusual feature is a mechanism for switching between two different film formats - 6x7cm and 6x6cm. It is also fitted with an 80mm f/3.5 fixed focal length lens, which is composed of six glass elements in four groups. The GF670 has an automatic lens shutter, and an SPD sensor with both automatic and manual autofocus. The ISO sensitivity ranges from 25 to 3200.

The GF670 weighs 1kg and measures 178x109x138mm when opened. The body is cast in magnesium alloy with aluminium parts, and the camera can be fitted with a hotshoe flash. In Japan, the GF670 will be released with soft leather case and a dedicated lens hood.

While Fujifilm will release the GF670 under its own brand in Japan, the medium-format camera has been renamed the Voigtlander Bessa III 667 outside of Japan, where it seems Cosina has sole distribution rights.

The camera retails at £1650 +VAT. For more details, visit Robert White's website.
