Hi guys, I've been thinking about picking up a medium format range finder of late.
I have only really looked at the Fuji 645 & 690 versions, anything else to consider? I recently repaired an old Kodak Information for my FiL and when I put a test roll through it I really enjoyed having a relatively small & lightweight 6x9 body, but I didn't enjoy the viewfinder or best guess focusing (surprisingly they were mostly framed & focused OK)!!
For those who own the Fuji RF's, how do you feel about them? Do you use them a lot and feel they are worth their circa £400 price tags, or have they turned into a bit of a novelty purchase!? Do you find one format suits candids better than say landscapes? I realise the 645 is portrait when held landscape.
I'd be using it for travel/candids - the times when you're not necessarily going out to shoot, but for I/when you come across something interesting! My 124G is that camera right now if I want to shoot MF and travel light.
Any suggestions most welcome
