If you've been raised on SLR's it can be difficult to get used to the rangefinder.

You should really get to a pro store and rent the M7 or M711 for a weekend, rangefinders are not for everybody. Also you are trying to compare a 6x4.5 to a 6x7, it would make more sense to compare the RF645 with say the Fuji 645zi after it's been around for six or seven mnonths and there's some user reports available. In my opinion, both are great deals compared to buying a new digital camera.It will be difficult to give comparisons as the Bronica is not yet readily available. I sold my RF645 for $650 (which is the same price I paid for it back in 2005). I was thinking a Mamiya 6 ran about twice the RF645 (hence the RF645 choice). Thanks for the starting points on price, I'm definitely willing to trade cosmetics for price as long as functionality isn't compromised. I really like the Mamiya system, I'm even thinking of selling my Leicas and Hasselblad and just stick with a Mamiya 7.

Mario*herrera edited this topic ages ago.ДЄ nice Mamiya 6 goes for about double of what a paid for my RF645, while the Mamiya 7, I've seen it for about triple. I paid $550.00 for mine, (at eBay) it has a few blems and some heavy cleaning marks on the rangefinder window, but when I focus it's very bright and contrasty, usually I shoot wide open at F4 and all my shots are always in focus. I really have no idea what RF645's are going for at the moment, I don't have enough saved at the moment to purchase your copy (but I'm keeping my eyes on it so I can get a good baseline for how much more I need to save). Thanks for the link, it's nice to know who has the RF645 up for sale (you can't always be certain what the condition of things are sometimes). Those are great shots! Hopefully, I can find one. but if you can get your hands on one of these, consider yourself blessed.Д«eautiful shots, a Mamiya 6 or 7 would probably be my first choice, but they are a touch out of my price range. I just wished there were more lenses for it readily available.

The RF645 is a very small & portable package, just a tad larger than my Leica M2. The focus is a snap due to it's bright & contrasty rangefinder. ages agoДЇirst of all, if you can't afford something like the Mamiya 7 the RF645 is probably the best choice, the lens is ultra-sharp, I'd say way sharper the my Zeiss Sonnar & Distagon I use in my Hasselblad. I am selling my Bronica on eBay if you are interested.

I'll keep watching the bay, so far the only one listed seems a little high on the price side. I keep hoping KEH will get one (and I'll actually see it when it comes in). I decided to think about it overnight, but by the next morning it was gone. I was lucky and found one on KEH and snapped it up immediately (6 month warranty). I think I've decided to pick up an RF645, but I really haven't had much luck finding one. Sorry to revive a Zombie thread, but I thought it was better to do this than start a new one.

Will post pics as soon as I have found my way around the 645 format. The chap agreed to drop the price slightly for me so for ВЈ475 I have a great little RF on the way with the 65mm lens which is the one I wanted.ДЄm excited about taking it out and just a bit gutted I will miss the snowy weather by the time it arrives (the shop owner is snowed in at the moment!!) but consoled myself by spending the day out with the Pentax 6x7 instead :-) I have taken a deep breath and agreed to get the one in the shop I saw the other day. Thanks for your reply, I thought as much. They also have a couple of RF20 flashes and a 45mm lens if anyone else is looking for stuff. With that in mind I just took a quick look on their website and I see they have no less than three RF645 + 65mm lens kits for sale ranging from ВЈ529 for one with some signs of use, through to ВЈ849 for factory original, unused, boxed stock. The fault was rectified at no extra cost. In general I find there prices to be very fair as well, and during a pre-shipping check on an OM2 I ordered they found a fault and notified me immediately. I have since bought two other second hand cameras from them and I have found them to be honest, quick and incredibly helpful. I think you'd have to be very lucky to get one in good condition below ВЈ500 in the UK. (have seen one in a shop with 65mm for ВЈ500 but hoping to find one below that) Will give it a good home with lots of TLC and padding and loads of loving film use : - ) Having looked in to 120 rangefinders the RF looks the best suited to me so am hunting! Am searching for an RF for sale for a reasonable amount.does anyone have one for sale or know of anyone with one? I run a pentax 6x7 as my main shooting kit but want an RF for everyday use.
