A medium format rangefinder camera that shoots 6×7 images on 120 film. It was released alongside the GL690.
Overview
The Fujica GM670 Professional is a medium format rangefinder camera made by Fujica (Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd.). It came out in 1974, the same year as the Fujica GL690. It shoots 6×7 images on 120 film and focuses manually through a rangefinder. There is no built-in light meter and no automatic exposure, so everything is set by hand. It was sold as a professional tool and belongs to Fujifilm's early rangefinder line, which later models built on.

Context

It predates the GW series and is part of the foundational line of Fuji rangefinders. Along with the G690 series, it helped establish Fujifilm's reputation in medium format rangefinder design.
