New Wide Angle 6x7 Rangefinder

Guess I'm not gonna afford one if it's anywhere close to what the III costs...

Great camera by the looks of it and its specifications!
 
The posted comments [in German] are all negative about another non-digital RF camera.
 
That is very cool indeed.
Fujinon EBC lenses are some of the best out there.

This looks like a bigger brother of the GA645w.

Kudos to Cosina and Fuji.

I find the comments quite funny in some way. People who shoot film do start to look weird for digital shooters :p

Good on Fuji and Cosina. Fuji still wants to sell film it would seem, and I think there are no shortage of takers in Japan, the rest of the world is a bonus.

Those comments are lunatic - the digital ones are totally OT, and what's with that guy saying it's nothing compared to a Plaubel Makina W67? The Makina was a pretty cheap, Japanese made camera when it was new, I don't really see what the problem with a Cosina is.
 
Just as soon as I think I have everything I want something like this shows up. I would love to have a 6X7 MF wide rangefinder. I will have to wait to see prices and specifications that I can read. - Jim
 
Love a wide 6X7

I can see a small size advantage...at a guess. What would cause you to choose it over the M7?

I like 35mm a lot but shooting 120 MF is fantastic. I used to use a Pentax 67 and love that size negative to work with. All the present 6X7 rangefinders have a close to normal lens and I would love to have a wide angle 67. - Jim

Mamiya Universal/Super Press 23 with 50mm lens for a great price advantage. No size or weight advantage for sure though.

EDIT: Don't know about the lens quality. The Mamiya glass tends to be really good, but nobody can complain about EBC lenses either.

Sorry Jim, I should have been more clear.
I meant the Mamiya 7, not Leica M7.
