It Doesn't Fit

The little camera on the left is my Pentax Q, the "smallest interchangeable lens mirrorless camera in the world". It takes good pics, I've posted a few of them on these boards. The big bomber on the right is my recently purchased Fuji GW690, a 6 x 9 cm medium format film camera.

To give an idea of how big the negatives on the GW690 are, I included a 35mm slide to give a point of reference to "full frame" sensors. I get 8 frames(!) out of a roll of 120 film. All of which got me thinking.

Unfortunately, the Pentax Q does NOT fit inside the back of a GW690. My dreams of using it as a digital back have been dashed.

But, how are the pictures from the GW690, you ask?

Not bad.

Now the only question is, how are you digitizing the negatives from the GW690?

I wimp out and send the film off to The Darkroom. They send me back a cd, along with the negatives and some prints. It's expensive, but worth it.

No not bad at all...but, it depends on the films you use, no?
I wonder if the lab sharpened this photo or the lens is natively sharp?

Everything I read online about this camera said that the lens is very sharp. But yeah, I was using Fuji Velvia 50 here, other films may have grain for instance.

It’s actually not that expensive if they send you some prints too. I use Indie Film Lab To develop mine, they send back the negatives and upload digital/scanned versions on the net. You should check them out.
