Francis, I have not looked at the 645 but i did play with Aaron Reynolds 6x7 a few weeks ago.I found it fit me quite well and i can see hand holding 1/60 and up should be no problem.Really did feel like a souped up spottie<g> I like the 6x6 neg and tried a Bronica SQ with out bracket.I would think it performs similar to the 645 but i'm sure the bracket would help me in hand holding the camera well enough.View finder was nice and big and clear.Also looked at the RF645 which tempted me a lot,but i just spent my camera monies last week so MF will have to wait a year.
