Bronica RF645

Yahoo! Mum has arrived with the Bronica RF645!



The kit consists of everything in the current Bronica line-up, but missing the 100mm f/4.5 portrait lens that seems to have been taken off the market due to insufficient demand, presumably. So, camera body, 65mm f/4 normal lens, 45mm f/4 wide angle lens with it's accessory viewfinder and the RF20 dedicated speedlight.

It's incredibly solid feeling, even more solid, though lighter, than the Bronica SQ-Ai. About the same weight and size as the Fujifilm S2 Pro, as you can see from the photo below.



And yes, it is a fairly big beastie. Plus it makes curious wheezing and clicking noises when you release the shutter. Although it looks like a traditional all-manual SLR, it is actually an all electronic hi-tech camera.

Lizard

Spotted this little fella outside Dad's house this afternoon. Very timid though, and this was about as good a view I got of him before he scurried off.
