That "new 645 is in good hands!!

> A couple of weeks ago I fondled a Bronica RF 645 and I liked it so much 
> that I bought one :-) While I do not shoot 35mm film anymore, I still 
> enjoy medium format, and the Bronica gives me the advantages of a 
> rangefinder and the nice big negative. It feels very much like a Leica, 
> and is not much bigger than an M7. I have put up some test pictures (on 
> Agfa Scala, notoriously difficult to scan, but the seller included 4 
> rolls with the camera, so I might as well use them):

> One of the neat things about this camera is that it takes 220 film. 
> There are not many choices in 220, but that perennial street-shooting 
> favourite, Tri-X, is reasonably easily available. And this means 32 
> pictures on a roll, not far behind a 35mm camera.
