I wanna have 617 format camera with total mechnical system . As I know, Fuji GX617 need a battery which powers shutter system. but someone says "electeronical thing in shutter just plays a small part. so even when battery is gone out, shutter can be released by connecting release cable with lens" Can anybody tell me about what kinda funtion electronic parts in shutter system do ?
That electronic shutter is from the body near winding lever maybe it design for handheld use, you always can use mechanical shutter from the lens with cable release or just push the shutter lever on the lens
I disagree with your focus compensation. Your aperture is f32, so leave it at that. However, by moving from f32 to f45 on your hyperfocal scale, your focus line has moved from just over 5 ft to now just under 5 ft. So you are focusing closer, and losing sharpness at infinity. I consider it important to maintain infinity (mountains, etc...tack sharp). So you should move not to f45, but rather 1 stop the other way to f22. This way your moving focus a bit closer to infinity, and it will be a bit sharper. For the near, little change occurs, so it is infinity that we worry about being sharp. The hyperfocal scales are calculated for 8x10 print size (on all cameras and formats), so for 30x40 prints, you need to adjust your circle of confusion calculation, or more simply, just focus a bit more toward infinity by 1.5 stop approx. Your then good for huge prints.
Spot on Lee. I understood every bit of it and good idea to film it so the audience can see.
great vid thanks,love to see one on how you get your films scanned rob
I ask myself why Fujifilm has not developed a similar cámera but now Digital (with a big sensor).

Good video and information. In 6x17cm format is 105mm considered a wide angle?
Lorenzo Zee yes the 105 is equivalent to around 24mm full frame...
Lee, I followed your instructions but I am still having problems getting the camera focused tack sharp. Do you have any recommendations for me?
Hi Mark. Sorry i missed your comment for the late reply, are you shooting with things extremely close to the camera?
