Re: Mamyia RZ or Fuji GX680...?

If I were looking, I would look hard at the Mamiya 645AF III. 

I have a slew of RZ II’s and the hard thing to find for the Fuji’s are the lenses. For my RZ line I have 10 lenses (37 fisheye, 55, 75, 90, 110, 140, 150, 180, 210, 500) and I don’t know if Fuji has that many including everything. If anybody happens to run across a 43 or 45 for the RZ, I am looking.

either will do digital finding adapter for fuji might be a chore and require a machinist    Fuji does have front bellows.    Fuji not so many around and HUGE.  RZ zillions of them around and used.  RZ does have a tilt shift adapter but not has much movement as GX.    Fuji parts might be harder to find but fuji is WAY WAY cheaper then RZ.

Hi all,

I'm looking to buy (second hand) a medium format camera and am thinking about either a Mamyia RZ or Fuji GX680. I know the RZ as I used it when I was an assistant years ago, but have no knowledge of the fuji GX680, although I like the look of it and the added attraction of tilt/shift lenses (something I use with my large format camera).

Both get good reviews, though the Fuji sounds cumbersome in terms of electronics and power issues.

Also, eventually will want to stick a digi back on it (though will just be shooting film for now) and have no experience of using MF digi backs with either of these cameras so curious to know if anyone has any thoughts on this aspect?

Many thanks for any input...

Cheers,
Jonathan
