It is, although I have no problem with the 6x7.

I do many shots with the 6x7 hand held and the mirror doesn't
seem to be a problem, altough sometimes I use the MLU even then.
I prefer to shot with the 6x7 without the prism, since the waist
level finder lets me see the entire frame and is a great help in
saving weight. It seems even lighter than the 645, but I have no
data to prove it.
The first time I used the 6x7 I was hiking in the mountains of
my region and the body with the 55/4, without prism, was
comfortable enough for a day trip, always around the neck.
On the other hand, the 645 seems to suffer less from vibrations
when used with times around 1/8, 1/15s. I have few shots taken
with the 120/4 macro at 1/8s that show no evidence of blur, but
maybe it was only luck...
