6x9 camera with AE: options?

[squirrel$$$bandit]

What 6x9 cameras are there with AE? Any that a normal human can afford?

Somebody correct me if I am wrong, buy I seem to remember that you could get a 100mm lens for one of the fuji 690's that had AE.

Other than that ?? - sorry I could'nt be of more help.

EDIT: it's mentioned here -- > http://www.rangefinderforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=27581

Is there a Fuji 690 with AE? What is it?

I'm kinda lusting after a GW690II but I am lazy when it comes to exposure. Then again, my meter would barely make a dent on the accessory shoe of that monster.

A bit of patience or if KEH has one in stock, then a Fuji BL with an AE 100 lens is about the only route that I know of. Of course, only that particular lens will be AE capable.

Frankly, I'd be a bit leary of relying on an in-lens AE mode that is nearly 40 years old.

Fair enough...

I use a Cosina Voigtlander meter with my accessory shoe and you are correct it is minuscule in comparison to the size of the camera. By the way, I tend to bring a hand-held meter even with the VC meter, because there is nothing better the an incident reading in my book.

If I can, I'll take an incident reading even with my digital SLR, because a reflective meter is prone to be fooled by variances in luminance within the frame and different colored backgrounds.

The Fuji 100mm AE is the only 6x9 lens that allows you to have AE flash photography with a 6x9 camera. The AE is quite accurate, and it works well.
