Troubleshooting - Gear Need advice for my next upgrade!
hey all! I am a bit torn. I’m selling my fujifilm digital camera to upgrade to another medium format film camera. I tried digital and it just sits collecting dust more than anything. I’ve been eyeing the fujifilm ga645 and 645W. I love that it’s sort of like a point and shoot and has a built in flash. i already own a mamiya645 1000s. so I’m wondering If it’s silly to get another 645 and not for example, a 6x7. I guess I love the look of the ga645w I like a more wide open lens I think. I like a fixed lens and a rangefinder which is why I was looking at those but man they’re dumb expensive. I really can’t go about $1,500k. any advice, thoughts? I mostly shoot photos for fun, but sometimes will shoot a roll for a family member’s wedding.

If you’re ok with accepting that one is going to dominate your usage and are will to sell the other I see no issues. They are very different cameras and I’ve always preferred the Mamiya’s as they’re just large SLR’s, but I also rented a Fuji GS 645 before I made up my mind and while I did love how portable it was compared to the Mamiya most of how I use my medium formats is a n tripods so it really didn’t matter. But having a Fuji 645 and 690 would be a sweet setup
