Though I almost found it intriguing or unique. ![]() Jim, I was weary like you when I looked into this camera about the vertical viewfinder as well. The controls, metering, and overall feel of the Bronica RF645 are just fantastic! Both are great cameras and you can't go wrong either way. If I could only own one of these cameras, it would be the RF645, but I would want to have another camera for 6圆. And lastly, I believe that the Mamiya glass may be a bit better overall than the Bronica glass, but this is nit-picking. Thirdly, I do like the Mamaiya 6's shutter better than the RF645, it's a simple "click." The Bronica makes a weird moaning sound (which is actually the shutter re-cocking). Secondly, the lens can be retracted (as you can see in the one pic), a very nice feature when hiking or when you need to fit the camera into smaller spaces (The Mamiya 7 or 7II doesn't have this feature). So why do I have a Mamiya 6 you might ask? Firstly because it's square! Square is not for everyone, but I personally love the square format. All the controls are in the perfect place and the metering is better than either of the Mamiya's. I can not stress enough how nice the RF645 is to handle. ![]() The Bronica RF645 looks only a bit smaller than the Mamiya 6, but feels alot smaller when you handle it.
