The ultimate space saving in 645 cameras would be the rangefinders, but there isn't a 645 rangefinder that I'd trust except maybe the Bronica RF645. Yes, they'll be smaller than 6圆 and 6x7 SLRs, but they're almost always going to require an eye level prism unless you're really committed to shooting horizontally, so they're not really that much smaller in practice than 6圆 SLRs with waist level finders. The ETR series, the Pentax 645, and the Contax 645 are all going to be quite similar in size and handling for the most part. That's it, now fill my eyeholes with the benefit of your experienceĪgreed. So that leaves me with cameras like Fuji 645 rangefinders - there are quite a few versions of those so it'd be good to read people's thoughts about them and other compact 645 systems, such as the Pentax 645, Mamiya 6, Contax 645, etc. I'd be comfortable with a fixed lens as a lot of my pictures on trips are taken with one lens and I'd be able to switch lenses on the other camera anyway. I think I've ruled out cameras such as the ETRS on the basis that they're still quite large. Having seen the picture at the bottom of this page, I've gone off the idea of a GW690 as it's the size of my head and I'd prefer something more compact and luggable but with the benefit of using MF film, hence 645. I'm currently flirting with a 6x9 folder but haven't developed anything yet and, besides, the ones with a coupled rangefinder cost more that I normally spend on a car so I'm stuck with zone focussing and I'd prefer something a bit more convenient, possibly with an in-built meter. I'm looking for a MF camera to accompany my 35mm or (gasp) digital on trips away when I don't want to lug the RZ around.
