It's been a very nice "upgrade" from the Fuji GA645 i used before.
The 45mm did not have a finder, but it seems fine to use the built in VF. I did end up getting a Bronica RF645 outfit with 65mm and 45mm. Definately one of the best sleeper cameras on the second hand market (though not a very chear one!) If only there existed a digital back for this, I would never need anything else.
#Bronica rf645 pressure plate manual
Excellent manual controls coupled with wonderfully sharp lenses. I still can't get over how easy this camera is to use and learn from. I hope you found yourself a Bronica RF645. They are a great company and you can get a quote directly from their online service center. KEH.com also will service the Bronica RF645. You can check infinity focus and then check close focus.ĭid you try to contact tamron? I thought they would service until the end of 2011 Just remove the small plastic cover at the right of the viewfinder and turn the screw that's underneath it. Can you tell me a little bit more with your technique on adjusting the horizontal alignment? I would say this is a tough camera overall, very nice to use if you can live with its limitations (no close focusing, no TTL view, etc.), but in case you need a serious repair, the cost will likely exceed the one of a body on the used market. Did that, and it's now focusing perfectly just like before. Meanwhile I read on a forum that you could adjust the rangefinder yourself thanks to a screw hidden behind a small plastic cap on the top plate. Tried to find a service house here in Europe : French Bronica workshop (Nikken) says they no longer service these, they kindly pointed me to Intro 2020 who told me they could service it but that it would be fairly expensive.
I got scared initially, found a bump on the base plate, then found that the rangefinder had horizontal misalignment. I have recently dropped mine (1m high) on a concrete floor. What is your experience with reliability?Īlso what is a reasonable price for a kit with 65mm and 45mm lenses?
I have read in some forums that Tamron will no longer support it starting 2012. I do not yet own a Bronica RF645 but seriously considering to get a set.
