I bought a GA645Zi last year after I realized my advancing age had made carrying around my Pentax 67 system so difficult that I had stopped taking photos. It has proved to be a great solution for casual use. One point about the feature warning that the lens cap is left on the camera. It measures the light in the scene versus the light at the lens; if there is a difference, it triggers the lens cap warning. However, below a certain light level, the feature is disabled so you do not get the cap warning every time you shoot a low light level shot. The focus system is about as crafty as it gets. At closer distances, it uses an active infrared system. At longer distances where the infrared system isn't so exact, it shifts to a contrast differential system (like most SLR autofocus); the only other camera I know of which uses such a system is the Contax T3.

Nick, I enjoy your videos and the sardonic humor! Question...why did you choose a 645 “point and shoot” over a similar 6x7 or 6x9? Being as how you do large format, 6x17 and 6x7, I would have thought the next logical gap to fill would be 6x9. Ya, 645 is considered medium format but it’s the baby of the litter with a smallish negative. Or was it more about the camera itself you liked? I’m curious as, like you, I have a few different MF cameras but I am thinking to buy me a Fuji GWS690 to get a wider format option. Last thought.... it would be cool if you did a vid on different film formats and the pros and cons of each.

I though so too at first, but it worked out to not be a problem. First, the lens is very sharp wide open, so you should not have the usual concern about "shutting it down" to take a picture. Second, I tend to use 400 speed film in mine, which mitigates the small maximum aperture. Of course, I'm not trying to use the camera in "available darkness" situations, in which it would be a pain in the ass.

Hi Nick I am a subscriber and really enjoy your videos. I have also purchased your class on MASTER MANUAL METERING FOR FILM PHOTOGRAPHY. I am interested in the camera that you covered in this video and in reading and watching some other reviews, I ran across a tidbit of info that you may or may not be aware of. It seems that there is a theory that opening the back all the way to put film in the camera puts stress on the ribbon cable that feeds the back lcd panel. The thought is that if you only open the back far enough to drop the film in the ribbon cable does not get stressed and the likely hood of rear panel failure is reduced.

I totally get why, for the type of shooting that Nick does (and that I do most often too), shutter priority mode is not useful. But I also shoot my kids' sports where control over shutter speed is the primary determinant of my images. As I have gotten more and more into film photography, I have even started shooting sports on film with my Nikon F80 and modern G lenses. Do I want to freeze the action of a basketball game, or do I want to blur the legs of my daughter as she runs down the court? How about panning shots where my subject is in focus but the background has significant blur? These are all times when shutter priority mode is very useful.

I have a couple of Fuji 645’s including the zi. I liked it until it didn’t wind on properly on a roll and opening the back partially exposed the roll. I’m not sure I trust it now, which is a shame. I too wish the wind on was manual. That motor is really loud. If they had made a 690 with a built in meter, that’d be my favourite.
@randallstewart1755 жыл бұрын
His problem almost certainly results from misloading the film roll. On 120 roll film cameras generally, when you thread the paper leader on the take-up spool, you must maintain tension so the leader is tightly wound. If the roll starts with a loose wind, as shot film winds onto the spool, its diameter fattens to the point where it is too loose to be light tight at the end of the roll. In some cameras having close tolerances in the take-up film chamber, a loosely wound roll will expand to the point where it can jam in the chamber mid-roll. The power wind of the GA645Zi tends to cause users to slack off by letting the camera handle the whole process, which can lead to the problem. Its 6x7 cameras are so prone to the problem that Pentax devotes a full page in the manual to the problem with pictures on how to avoid it.

@randallstewart1755 жыл бұрын
The Bronica RF645 had great potential, but it was a last-minute project to try to save a failing company. It wasn't fully vetted to debug and Bronica passed into oblivion before having a chance to make an improved "Model II". The body has mechanical problems, mainly film transport breakage. The rangefinder system (Bronica's only effect at such) was so badly designed that it could not focus the original telephoto lens at only 135mm. (Leica, Canon, Konica, Mamyia and Nikon managed that decades before.) The crash solution by Bronica was to discontinue the 135mm and replace with a 100mm lens which put less demand on the system. They offered to hand-fit a body to a specific 135mm lens for an owner, but then no other telephoto lens would work on the camera. (The lenses are great, but you end up with a 45mm and a 65mm - big deal.) Finally, so few were sold as make it expensive and very difficult to assemble a set of body, lenses and hoods.

Hi Nick. Thanks for the great video on a very interesting camera I’ve been looking into. One remark though: your English dog seems to have a problem coping with the Irish whiskey ;-)

Have you tried Highland Park (15 year old)? Don't know any Whisky drinkers here in Scotland that don't like it.

I really regret selling this camera ! Wish I could get one again, but they are getting way too expensive ! Also the LCD always dies on this model, which is a shame, cuz you can't get it fixed.

your Mamiya 6 probably needed an adjustment. Mine nails exposure every time

David Hunt probably. That thing was kind of a hot mess.
