I'm curious how the Bronica's handling is when used for horizontal shots? I wish you and your family all the the best for the new year Didier >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): >http://www.greatpix.eu/gallery/2226109 > >One of the neat things about this camera is that it takes 220 film.
