You want a Texas Leica? Why use a little baby 6x7? Go for the big guy - Fuji 6x9! I think it's called the 690? Jeff here in Toronto has a Fuji 6x9, and at least one (maybe two?) 6x7's (one's foldable, but maybe he got rid of that one - you out there Jeff?).
AFAIK, he loves the 6x9! I've seen it's images, and they are quite amazing, even in Jeff's hands! <vbg> cheers, frank William Robb wrote: > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Caveman > Subject: OT: Texas Leicas - which ? > > > > > Which 6x7 rangefinder camera would you recommend and why ? > > Mamiya 7.
