Fuji GX680 is a medium format single - lens reflex camera manufactured by Fujifilm . A rather unusual image format of 6 × 8 by 60 mm film type 120 and type 220 , distinguishes this camera from other professional medium format cameras, such as the Mamiya RB and RZ systems or the Pentax 67 . Unlike most competing cameras, this camera is notable for using special movements and flexible bellows to tilt the lens axis relative to the film plane ( tilt-shift ), thereby correcting the perspective and depth of field according to the Shympflug principle . The range of movement of Fuji GX680 is not as large as that of large-format cameras , but it is quite enough to solve most applied and creative tasks, including architectural and subject photography. The camera is designed for studio shooting, but compared to large-format studio cameras, the Fuji GX680 provides a more compact design and less weight. The body of the camera is cast, of aluminum alloy. All handles are covered with rubber that prevents slippage, independent resource meters are installed on the main nodes. These differences, compared to other medium format SLR cameras, certainly expand the creative range of this camera.
