OK, starting the obligatory medium format rangefinder porn thread! I will start it off with my Mamiya Super 23 setup...
Gotta love this old gear, super sharp, built like a tank, and cheap compared to new 120 RFs you can buy now.

You think this is comic??! I was using that very same finder on a GR Digital II...

...and you have to admit that it's one of the best 65mm finders ever. The other being the Koni-Omega for 6x7.

Whoh! on a GRD? It truly is bigger than the camera! Yes it is absolutely the best external finder I have every looked through, actually better than any in camera finder too!

I've got a Zeiss-Ikon Super Ikonta 533/16 that is externally beautiful but internally in need of work. I talked to some folks online who seem to be in the know about repairing these and none could give me a warm fuzzy that this would ever work right due to design limitations of the camera (i.e. the film advance is non-adjustable and overlapping frames may just be a fact of life with this camera). Ugh. Not a good first MF RF experience. When I'm feeling brave I'll try again after more research.

I've put about 8-10 rolls of film through my Zeiss-Ikon Super Ikonta 533/16 since getting it back in February and have had Zero issues with overlapping frames. In fact the only issue I've been having is forgetting to turn the film advance key before cocking the shutter, which means I usually end up with one or two blank frame per roll

It's well used, but still works great. I have two 120 magazines/backs and just picked up the 60mm lens too.

This is exactly what I don't need to see as I mull over the purchase of a Fuji 690

Just for you, iamzip. It's beat up, but it all works.

Too late - Late last night, my resistance was low, and I purchased a bargain GW690II from KEH. Had my eye on it for some time; they had it priced at less than $400, a steal in my opinion. Of course, i haven't gotten confirmation yet, so someone may have beat me to it.
