Fuji GS645 Professional Folding Medium Format Camera with 75mm f/3.4 Review

The Fuji GS645 Professional is a compact folding medium format rangefinder camera that shoots 6x4.5cm frames on 120 film. It features a fixed 75mm f/3.4 lens, roughly equivalent to a 40mm in full-frame terms, making it a versatile wide-normal focal length for travel, street, and documentary work. The folding design makes it unusually portable for a medium format camera, fitting into a jacket pocket when collapsed.

This particular unit is a used bargain-grade example from KEH, which typically indicates visible cosmetic wear but functional operation. At $740, it sits in the mid-tier of the used medium format market, offering an entry point into larger-format film photography without the bulk of a traditional medium format SLR. The GS645 series is known for solid build quality and sharp optics, though it lacks interchangeable lenses and relies on zone focusing or the built-in rangefinder for precision. It's a straightforward, mechanical option for film shooters who value portability and the look of medium format negatives.
