I've just picked up a mint- Fuji GA645zi.
Should arrive before the weekend. Can't wait to give it a test run!

Good choice, i've been playing with 645 this year, and picked up a GA645 after having played with a friends a while back. My one is very good, but it does underexpose in direct sunlight. I guess it's an average meter so this is maybe not at all surprising, but something to watch out for for both of the days in the year when the sun is out ;-)
Cesare BTW, my friend also has the fuji 6*7 folder, and it really is very very nice. I know i'll end up with one at some point. Kind of inevitable really... |

That's bad news , it sounds like sending it off for a service quote may be a good idea. If it's any consolation most of us have a cupboard full of bargains.

Well I finally got the GS645S back from service, all seems to be working.
So, I'm now after a nice low profile form-fitting camera bag for it, as minimal as possible but offering a bit more protection than the original brown suede case (fetching though it is). Just needs to take the camera and maybe a couple of rolls of film and a filter or two. Ideally with its own strap. What is everyone else using for their MR rangefinders? |

Lowepro will have something in their range to cater for your camera.

A bit late with my "two penneth", but if light and portable is the criteria, don't get anything with interchangeable lenses!
When I got my Zorki 4 (OK, it's a 35mm rangefinder, but the principle is the same) I thought I'll get an auxillary viewfinder, wide and long lenses and....hang on a minute! I'd have been carting around an SLR outfit in all but name if I'd have gone down this route. Being neither young nor fit, I find carrying a roll-film SLR plus lenses and backs around a chore (ditto TLR) so I've gone out and got an Isolette and an Ensign Selfix. Both are pocket folders and won't take accessories, other than filters. Problem solved. |

I think if you are spending most of your time chasing an ankle snapper(ah bless them)as I am with my grandson,there is only one answer for me its auto focus I own 35mm nikon af cameras,but my medium format mamiya rb67 and zenza bronica 645 are both mf . I brought an AE-111 meter head as it has eyepiece diopter correction adjustment which has helped the old mince pies but I think the way to go for me is af 645,it gives me two options, mamiya 645af or pentax 645af all I have to do is convince grandma (she looks to young to be a grandmother) that I need one.
