Default fuji GS645S

Got one of these on the way and looking for feedback from people who have
used one. I had a GSW6X9 and while it's 65mm lens was amazing, I found the
perspective too wide for everyday use. I hope this camera has a lens as
good as the 6X9 did and thought having a meter built in and the FOV a 60mm
lens has on this format would make for a good travel/all purpose MF camera.


I borrowed one for a week a couple of years ago. It has an excellent
lens. The FOV is comparable to a 35-40mm lens on a 35mm film camera.
So yes, it will make a pretty good travel/all purpose MF camera.

A word of warning; take care with the framing. As with any viewfinder
camera, especially when you are coming from SLRs, it takes a little
practice to know how the viewfinder frame relates to what is included
in the image on film.
