Lovely camera you will find it produces amazing images. It is indeed all 
mechanical...no slower to use than a Leica M. It needs a meter...the 90 f3.5 
is on the slow side but a great hunk o glass. A friend, Paul Parks uses one 
for his travels see www.paulparks.com

LUGgers:

I have fallen heir to a Fuji GSW690III MF RF with a 90/3.5 (I think).  It
isn't here yet but I know very little about this camera.  It appeals to me
because it is a rangefinder that makes a BIG NEGATIVE.  It will never
replace my Leicas, mainly because the lens is too slow. I understand it is
mechanical and may not have an internal meter.

Does anyone have any experience with this "Texas Leica"?

TIA

JB
