Fujifilm GX680

The Fujifilm GX680 is a film slr that exposes a 56 × 56 mm frame on 6 × 6 cm film. Its crop factor is 0.55× — wider than full frame, so a 50 mm lens frames like 27 mm. Every number below is calculated for this exact film format.

Focal length equivalents & field of view#

Multiply any focal length by 0.55 to get the full-frame field of view. For fixed-lens cameras use the real focal length printed on the lens (e.g. “6.1–18.3 mm”), not the 35 mm equivalent.

Equivalent aperture#

Exposure is identical at the same f-number on any format; equivalence only describes depth of field and total light.

Night-sky exposure limits#

Longest exposure before stars trail. The NPF rule accounts for pixel pitch and is stricter than the classic 500 rule — use it for pin-sharp stars on high-resolution sensors. (NPF needs a known resolution and is omitted here.)

Focal length500 rule
26 mm (14 mm eq.)35.2 s
37 mm (20 mm eq.)24.7 s
44 mm (24 mm eq.)20.8 s

92 mm (50 mm eq.)9.9 s

Handheld shutter speed guide#

The reciprocal rule uses the equivalent focal length. High-resolution sensors may need one stop faster than this for pixel-sharp results.

Frequently asked questions#

What is the crop factor of the Fujifilm GX680?

The Fujifilm GX680 has a crop factor of 0.55× relative to 35 mm full frame (diagonal 79.2 mm vs 43.3 mm).

What size is the Fujifilm GX680 frame?

56.0 × 56.0 mm (6 × 6 cm film), an area of 3136 mm² — 363% of full frame.

How long can I expose the night sky with the Fujifilm GX680?

With a 37 mm lens (20 mm equivalent) the 500 rule gives 25 s.
