Never had I owned a sharper camera (nor since for that matter). Being that I do not keep equipment for very long, I sold the Fuji to a doctor in N. Carolina. Several years later, and several pleas later, the good doctor finally relented and returned the camera to me. I will never, never sell it again. How is it? Awesome. The large negative, light weight, great view finder and acutely sharp lens make for a combination hard to beat. Concurrently I owned a Fuji 6x9 with 65mm lens but was not happy with the results. The lens was not as good as the 90. I have no idea which of the two was the exception. The 6x9 format is ideal for scenics, panoramas etc., plus I can feel macho holding that hunk of camera next to someone holding a M camera, you know, one of those Leica things.

The only reason I'm asking this here is that I know that there is an awful lot of rangfinder users here... Has anyone tried the Fuji rangfinder cameras? How do they feel? How do the negs look? It wouldn't replace the M6 (what could?), but there have been some situations where the extra neg size would be nice...TIA! eyes
