HEllo Boris ... Please think about this. The Fuji 645 shoots in portrait orientation, i.e., vertical. If you want a horizontal or landscape photo, you'd have to turn the camera vertically. I've never cared much for the 645 format, much preferring 6x6, and probably 6x7. Also, I understand that parts and service are hard to come by for some Fujis. Not so for a Rolleiflex 40 and 50 yo 'flexes are still going strong, still serviceable. Get a good one - even if you have to save up for it, spend a few dollars for a good CLA, and you'll have a camera good for many, many years of troublefree service and great photographs.
