It could be quiet (like the new Fuji 67 or its sister the Bessa 667), or it could be like my Fuji GSW 690, as noisy as an MF SLR like the Mamiya RB67 or RZ67. It's 50 and 75 mm lenses are quite exceptional (been making large prints from them for ten years now), and the 50mm is great for street shooting.Īs for the shutter sound of the Fuji 645, I have no idea. But if you cannot or don't want to mask the Hassy or Mamiya 6圆cm frame to 6 x 4.5 mentally, the Mamiya 6MF is one excellent way to go, especially for its automated exposure and super silent shutter. So you can always have your cake and eat it, although you wouldn't get the 15 exposures of the Bronica or Fuji 645.

"One of these adapters masked 6 x 6 film down to 6 x 4.5, making the top and bottom edges of the frame black, and still giving you the same 12 or 24 exposures."


He thought the 35mm panoramic and 6 x 4.5 adapters a bit idiotique, but had this to say about the Mamiya 6 MF (Multi-Format) version of the Mamiya 6, with its 6 x 4.5 adapter: Ken Rockwell in his review loved the M6 (produced from 1989 - 1999) over the current M7, except for the advantage of the very wide 43mm lens on the latter.
