hwillnow2's Full Review: Mamiya 645 AFD Medium Format Film Camera
I have several cameras including the RZ67 Pro II. I have been using the 645E and a Nikon N900 for weddings and portraits. I purchased the 645AFD because I have to wear glasses and liked the auto focus feature. I am thinking of selling all of my other camera equipment to purchase another 645 AFD. This is one great camera. I photographed some children using the 210mm AF lens. The balance of camera and lens felt great, auto focus was fast and accurate. The Auto exposure worked perfectly. Loading film was fast, since you do not have to wind the film to the "Start" position (the camera automatically sets the film to the first exposure while you hold the release button half way in)which also squeezes out an extra shot from the roll, 16 instead of 15. The viewfinder is clear and bright, you can see f/stop, shutter speed and what ever else you want to see while shooting.
This camera gets you excited about photography all over again. It is a great tool that allows you to concentrate on the image rather than the mechanics of the camera.
