Two recently acquired compact medium format rangefinder cameras. For a medium format camera, these are extremely small form factor options. They even come with Auto Focus and flash! From various user reports, the GA645 series seems to be a winner, but being obsolete electronic cameras, their service life may be severely limited.
The GA645Wi is a wide angle version of the GA645i. It has a 45mm f/4 lens unlike the GA645i, which has a 60mm f/4 lens. The earlier version of these two cameras are without the i designation at the end of the model number. Basically, the difference between the newer models are the introduction of Auto DX funtion on Fuji films and a second shutter release.
The GA645Zi on the other hand, is a totally different camera. It has a 4 step zoom from 55 to 90mm! Aperture rating at f/4.5-6.9. And it even has a 'lens cap on' warning feature! Cool!
Anyway, I was intending to take it along for the African trip, but in the end, thought it was better to leave unfamiliar gear back home. Still, took the GA645Zi along and came back with some blurred shots. Oh well...
Here's some interesting reads on these cameras.
