I bought a Fuji GA645 for $250 dollars today. I should get it in the mail tomorrow! I had been missing a 120 camera after I had to sell off my Mamiya 7. I hope this fills the void. I can't WAIT to shoot some street photography with this neat little point n shooter.

I had a chance to inspect it and everything is working properly. However it does squeak a little when focusing. Is there an easy fix for this?

Also, how slow can you hand hold this thing? It seems like I could go as low as 1/15th...
 
Small in comparison to my Toyo I guess, hahaha.

I also ordered some Portra 400 to go with it! I can't wait to take this thing to Prospect Park!
 
Congratulations, you got a great deal. Let me know if you ever want to part with it... :)
Simon is right, small is not the right word. But it is light! If you can do 1/15 with a rangefinder, then you should be fine. Have fun producing some sharp images.
 
I have had pretty good results at 1/8s, it's shutter is quiet and there is no vibration. And I have the i version which has a shutter release on the front and I use that most of the times as it eliminates even a little bit of self-induced vibration :)bang::bang::bang:) caused by the top shutter release. I love the big negatives, focusing is great too.
 
i got a Ga645 last week, love it! I'm selling off my contax g1 as i prefer MF and the GA645 feels better in my hands. Enjoy!
