That's why I bought a Fuji GS645 (after a remark about it from Sonny) from KEH last week. They rated it 8+, so in fact it's virtually new. It gets pretty hard to find 120 film though. Kodak Portra 160VC is the only thing I found closeby. I was hoping to find Fuji Reala 100, but might have been too much to ask.
