Fujifilm Fujica GL 690
The Fujica GL690 is a Japanese medium-format rangefinder introduced by Fuji in 1968, using 120/220 roll film to produce 6x9cm negatives. It was aimed at professional users who wanted the image quality of a large negative in a handheld, interchangeable-lens rangefinder body.
At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Fujica GL690 body have sat between roughly £160 and £270, with the two tracked 2025 sales producing a midpoint near £220. Today in 2026 the value at saleroom level remains condition-sensitive: cosmetically clean, fully working examples sell for more, and what the camera is worth depends heavily on whether a matching lens is included, since the body alone is of limited use without glass.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Fujica GL690 worth today?
Based on 2025 UK auction hammer results, a body has sold for between about £160 and £270, so a fair reference value is in the low-to-mid £200s depending on condition and whether a lens is fitted.
How much does a Fujica GL690 sell for at auction?
Recent UK hammer prices have ranged from £164 to £270, and clean working examples tend to sell for nearer the top of that range.
Why does the price vary so much?
Value is driven mainly by cosmetic condition, shutter accuracy on the attached lens, and whether the camera is sold body-only or with a Fujinon lens included.
