It's time for me to sell one of my prized photographic possessions. This is a G617 with 105mm f8 lens (f8-45) that is extremely sharp. The resulting image is essentially one half of a 5x7 frame or 2.1 x 6.75 (3:1). I've actually printed a 3'x9' panorama from a frame scanned at 3200dpi, that is very sharp even at that size.
Unlike virtually every other used G617 for sale, this camera has the Fuji factory upgrade for the shutter. The original Seiko shutter lost an aperture blade. Fuji Service in the USA replaced it with a Copal shutter. Whereas the old Seiko was known to have a lifespan of approximately 5,000 clicks, the Copal lifespan is far greater. I have shot less than 20 rolls since the factory upgrade.
Include with the camera is the strap (Yes! You can handhold this camera under the right conditions) along with the factory carrying case and the Fuji center filter.
The G617 accepts 120 or 220 roll film. I will include ten rolls of Fuji Velvia 50 or Provia 100 (buyer's choice) with the purchase.
These cameras are typically selling in the 1500-2000 dollar range US. The factory shutter upgrade and calibration cost over $600.00 less than two years ago. I am asking $1600.00. I will ship to US, Canada, UK, Australia at cost or a flat $25.00 fee in the US, including tracking and insurance.
I can accept PayPal or MC, VISA, AMEX direct at a 3% surcharge. Personal/bank checks also accepted from a US buyer. Allow for check clearance. If you have any questions, please contact me. Thanks!
