Those Fujis are really huge, IMO. If I was going to get something that
large I think I'd be tempted to just get a 4 x 5 setup instead. Anyone
got any experience with the Pentax 67II? Those feel OK to me. They're
big and clunky, but they actually feel kind of like an old Canon F1 to
me (which was, admittedly, big and clunky). They seem like they'd be
enough like shooting with a 35mm SLR to make it worth bothering with.

Hi Albert,
Robert White (www.robertwhite.co.uk) still has some Fuji GW690III
in stock, but the GSW690III is out (and significant discounts on
Mamiya stuff). FWIW, I suggest you consider 645 SLRs. In going to
rangefinders from SLRs like the OM, I discovered that I had grown used
to EXACTLY composing in the viewfinder and was thrown off stride by
the "surprises" from RF cameras from inexact framing. Also, the
shutter of the Fuji 69s is LOUD compared to OMs--even though they use
leaf shutters.
