If ever I have purchased a piece of equipment that has made me feel as though I've actually captured a magic bullet, my Fuji GW690III has been it. While it is a larger than a 35mm rangefinder, it is still of a size and shape that there is no issue for me to not sling it over my shoulder wherever I go.

I spent the evening experimenting with different configurations of the Fuji GW690III and Metz 45CT-4 flash. It may not look it, but the configuration shown below is surprising agile for the size of the equipment. While holding the camera with just my right hand, the Metz Flash acts much like the pommel on a sword. It counter balances the camera rather well.

Thanks for the Metz idea!
I've just bought a Fuji GW690III and I think I might invest in a Metz flash for some portrait work at the weddings I shoot (I shoot with D3's and D700's at weddings), out of interest how do you rate this camera overall and how do you get consistently good exposure with it ?
Thanks for any advice.
John.
I give it very high ratings. Image quality is outstanding. I've had non-photographers say "Wow, that is the clearest photos I've ever seen" after showing them simple 4x6s made with it. The only time I get bad exposures is when I'm using auto flash and something in the scene, like a street sign or reflective vest tricks the flash sensor, but I doubt that would be a problem if you are going to be shooting wedding portraits. I've learned to watch for those elements now and set it to fully manual flash if they're around. Since it is completely manual, any other bad exposures are completely my fault.
Takes a little brains to operate, but the trade off is amazing image quality.
