For Sale Fuji GA645Zi Pro

[RPippin]

I have a Fuji GA645 Zi in excellent condition for sale. It's the solid black model with 55 - 90 mm lens. Comes with original manual, lens cap, lens hood, and cover. Would like to get $800.00 and will cover shipping to anywhere in the continental US. Let me know if anyone is interested, I'll post images and consider serious offers.

Typo on price, meant to say $600.00. This is a great camera for medium format users and the solid black model is a bit of a rarity. Saw the lens hood on ebay the other day for $80.00. Must have had the number 8 stuck in my head.

Awesome camera. I've had the GA645 for years and bought a GA645zi out of curiosity. As expected both terrific. I should sell my GA645zi as I do use the GA645 more but every time I pick up the zi it feels just so perfect in my hand that I shoot a roll, see the images, remind myself how great a performer it is, and just can't seem to bring myself to sell it.

Richard, I've been looking for one of these GA645zi's for a little while now . Images I've seen taken with it look wonderful. Owners always seem to speak very highly of it too in terms of operation and use as a travel camera. -- martin

Did you buy it?

Hi Richard,

Unfortunately, I have not had the opportunity. I sent a PM to the OP but alas I didn't get a reply yet. I know that folks don't always log in regularly.... I was thinking about putting a note in the "WTB" section..... I'll continue looking...

By the way, I was looking at your site recently. I like your work -- especially 'ocean beach SF'.... - best Martin

I also liked the pictures shown online with the GA645zi, so I decided to get one - especially as I noticed that Karl Lagerfeld was taking pictures with it.

It's a nice cam to carry around if you spend some time with your family or for travelling, but I wouldn't mind to sell mine, because now I would prefer a rangefinder with a prime lens.

The Fujinon 55-90mm is vignetting and the autofocus is precise, but not so easy to manage in praxis (some pictures taken with this nice cam here). Probably I should try more focussing in manual mode, but then I have to guess the distance. The Nikon F4 for example indicates with a LED if the manual focus is equivalent to the metered value.

So if anyone likes to trade a GA645zi for something nice in 120 with manual focus and a 100mm lens (or just a working 100mm Planar for my 500 C/M): The GA645zi comes with a lens hood, strap and the original dust cover.
