At the risk of asking something that may be obvious to the more senior members here, what is a "Jumbo Leica"?

Fuji GW690, GSW690, and variants in 680 and 670 formats

Also known as a 'Texas' Leica. But since the small format Leica has a 3:2 aspect ratio, any medium format rangefinder would also need that aspect ratio to be a scaled up version I would say. So a 6x7 format rangefinder would be a jumbo rangefinder but not a jumbo Leica, IMHO.

Jumbo Leica = Texas Leica = Fuji GW690 or GSW690..

Applying "Texas" to this slang moniker has specific language and meaning implications thus, "Jumbo"..

@ Ulophot, John Olsen, tuco
Thank you for the kind words.
flickr is not my personal site, just a way link to from my LFF posts; a minimal version of a personal site is my ipernity repository
http://www.ipernity.com/doc/1784150/album
I'll try to link to my ipernity files using BBCode

Two more pictures from the same hydro plant: Centrale des Vernes, active 1918-2020.
