I don't find that much improvement over 35 mm with the 645 negative. But then, I grew up with a Canon AE-1 and grew used to the placement of aperture and shutter controls common to it and the Mamiya. I find it takes me much longer to adjust shutter speed and aperture on the Fuji. The Fuji uses a dial and a small button that has to be pressed. The shutter speed dial is on the top and the aperture control is on the lens. The controls on the Mamiya are easier for me to use.

The Fuji is much less expensive.Īlso, I prefer to shoot in manual mode. That said, the Mamiya is quite an investment, especially if you are going to get the 43mm lens, which is excellent. I do think the lenses on the Mamiya are superior to the lens on the Fuji.

Plus I like to carry two or three lenses with me when I travel. It gives the bigger negative with little more size or weight. I use the Mamiya the vast majority of the time. I have shot it at school concerts and plays without distracting the people next to me. Of course, with the Fuji, you give up changing lenses. The main size difference comes from the lens. The body on the Fuji is about the same size as the Mamiya. The motor that drives the auto focus reminds me of the film advance on most 35mm film cameras. The shutter is pretty quiet, but it makes quite a noise as the camera hunts to focus.
I have a Fujifilm GA645 and it is noisier than the Mamiya. The 690 is quite well made, if a bit "clunky" (shutter sound, shutter speed setting ring, retracting lens shade action - but these are not deal breakers considering its type of use). Of course, this has little to do with the fomer Fuji models. The recent edition of B&W Photography (the British version) reviewed the new Bessa 667 (Fuji 67) and found that despite its positive attributes the construction was somewhat flimsy, not what they would have anticipated in that price range. Why not contact a repair person (Maybe Gus Lazzari of Photo.Net, who works on Leicas and other RF cameras)? They see and hear these cameras all the time. It could be quiet (like the new Fuji 67 or its sister the Bessa 667), or it could be like my Fuji GSW 690, as noisy as an MF SLR like the Mamiya RB67 or RZ67. It's 50 and 75 mm lenses are quite exceptional (been making large prints from them for ten years now), and the 50mm is great for street shooting.Īs for the shutter sound of the Fuji 645, I have no idea. But if you cannot or don't want to mask the Hassy or Mamiya 6圆cm frame to 6 x 4.5 mentally, the Mamiya 6MF is one excellent way to go, especially for its automated exposure and super silent shutter. So you can always have your cake and eat it, although you wouldn't get the 15 exposures of the Bronica or Fuji 645. "One of these adapters masked 6 x 6 film down to 6 x 4.5, making the top and bottom edges of the frame black, and still giving you the same 12 or 24 exposures." He thought the 35mm panoramic and 6 x 4.5 adapters a bit idiotique, but had this to say about the Mamiya 6 MF (Multi-Format) version of the Mamiya 6, with its 6 x 4.5 adapter: Ken Rockwell in his review loved the M6 (produced from 1989 - 1999) over the current M7, except for the advantage of the very wide 43mm lens on the latter.
