Insanely good nick, low roll count, no real dust in lens, smooth focus. Accurate timings. No fungus or haze. 
 
The Fuji GW670 is an absolute workhorse of a medium format camera—fully mechanical, no batteries to fail, and built like a tank. Unlike the overhyped, overpriced Mamiya 7, which relies on an electronic shutter that can leave you dead in the water if the battery dies, the GW670 is always ready to shoot, no matter what.
 
Lens Superiority
 
While Mamiya fans like to talk about their interchangeable lenses, the reality is that most people just use the 80mm f/4 and rarely switch. Meanwhile, the Fuji GW670’s fixed 90mm f/3.5 Fujinon is an optical powerhouse, known for its insane sharpness, contrast, and near-zero distortion. No worrying about lens choice—just pure photographic focus.
 
Build & Reliability
 
The GW670 is a beast—a real camera. It’s all metal, mechanical, and doesn’t feel like a plastic toy the way the Mamiya 7 does. Drop a Fuji, pick it up, and keep shooting. Drop a Mamiya? Pray that delicate rangefinder stays aligned.
 
Bang for Your Buck
• The GW670 is significantly cheaper than the Mamiya 7, and for what? A little more “portability” and a fancy rangefinder?
• The Mamiya 7 has skyrocketed in price, mostly because it’s been hyped by YouTubers and influencers. The GW670 delivers the same 6x7 negative size and arguably better image quality at a fraction of the price.
 
Who Actually Needs an Interchangeable Lens?
 
Let’s be honest—the 90mm focal length on the GW670 is perfect. It’s wide enough for landscapes, tight enough for portraits, and forces you to compose with intent rather than swapping lenses and overthinking. Why complicate things?
 
Final Verdict
 
If you want a serious 6x7 rangefinder, skip the overengineered Mamiya 7 and go for the Fuji GW670. It’s tougher, sharper, and infinitely more reliable—and it won’t leave you stranded if a battery dies.
