In case it helps Albert, I have just looked at an old Amateur
Photographer which tested 3 MF cameras, all rangefinders: the Mamiya
7II, the Fuji 670 and the Bronica RF645. The reviewer concluded that
the Fuji was too big and primitive and expensive; that he would buy
the M7 for its variety of lenses (and 35mm adaptor); but that the
RF645 had to be his serious recommendation - convenience, number of
shots on a roll and performance seemed to be his reasons.
Since you are looking at 2 completely different cameras (their only
common feature is the film that they use), I suggest that you decide
which format (square or not, panoramic or not (the 617 would help you
there), SLR or RF) you want and go from there.

I found this page.
It lists the two cameras I'm considering; the Fuji 690III and the
Hassy 903SWC. The Hassy is listed as much better in terms of optics.
I'm wondering if any of you have seen pics from both (side by side)
and can give me a subjective feel .
