I know how annoying it can be when you want to read a review and find yourself instead reading a padded out spec sheet.
In this review I’m going to describe the features of the camera in quite a bit of detail. However, for a certain type of photographer looking for a camera to fulfil certain needs, it’s damn near perfect. This Fujica GS645 definitely isn’t for everyone. I don’t know for sure what Fuji’s intentions where when they gave the world the GS645, but I’ve given it quite a bit of thought, and I’m happy to speculate based on what I see as the evidence. Not to mention some seriously modern styling (by early 1980’s standards). They seem to have taken inspiration from those classic folders, but improved on the design with a great coupled rangefinder, a light weight and sturdy body, a coupled film wind and shutter cocking mechanism, an inbuilt coupled light meter and a phenomenal Fujinon lens. So, in creating the Fujica GS645 in 1983, FujiFilm were going back to their roots in a way. A later iteration, the Super Fujica Six even had a coupled rangefinder. When not in use, they close down behind a lens door like one of those classic folding cameras from the 1940s and 50s.Īctually, I discovered that Fuji’s first ever camera in 1948 was their own folding 6×6 viewfinder camera, the Fujica Six. The lens and shutter are mounted on bellows. Maybe it’s the “Great Small 6×4.5 camera”? So, do the L, M and S stand for large, medium and small? And the G stands for… I don’t know. Its name doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue, does it? I have noticed that with Fuji’s other MF rangefinders, you have the GL690 for 6×9 shots and the GM670 for 6×7 shots. It’s a super compact medium format rangefinder that shoots 6×4.5cm negatives in portrait orientation with a fixed 75mm f/3.4 lens and leaf shutter.

The Fujica GS645 Professional (to give it its full name) is a unique camera.
