Title: Does Fuji GX680 magnifying hood cover Contax 645?
Post by: lowep on November 16, 2017, 10:55:08 pm

I consider trying to use a Fuji GX680 magnifying hood as a WLF on my Contax 645 but can find no specifications anywhere that indicate the dimensions of the base of this Fuji unit, width and length, which I guess is about the same/slightly bigger than the dimensions of the glass viewfinder prism on top of the GX680. Unfortunately I don´t have a GX680 so would be happy to hear from anybody who can recall or guesstimate the dimensions of the glass viewfinder prism on top of the GX680? Maybe 6x8cm or...???

Why don't you just buy a Contax 645 WL finder?

The more difficult the journey, the greater the relief when it's over. Like going to the dentist, in a way.
