I also tend to prefer 6x6, but 645 is much more economical on film
and fits most paper sizings with less waste ... I always feel bad
when I cut down a 13x19" sheet to 13x13" for full frame presentation,
or have to work to make 20x20 inch prints.
Funny thing is that I find that I shoot about 80% vertically oriented
photographs, so the orientation of the GA645 worked much better for
me than the Mamiya 1000S.

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.
