    Mamiya 7 w/ 80mm

    or

    Plaubel Makina 6x7

    Taking into consideration, in order:
    Image quality
    Usability
    Portability
    Durability
    Longevity / repairability

    • Mamiya is a big boi.

    • I have the Plaubel Makina, its a beautiful rangefinder. It gets a lot of looks. It def has a learning curve, but totally worth getting if you have found one.jmckinno
    • Get that Fuji one, cheaper and 6x9 format ;)tank02
    • Image quality on both is amazing, usability on PM takes some getting used to, PM is more portable and durable, PM has better battery lifejmckinno
    • ^ crazy, was just about to recommend the gw690 instead. But check the Fuji's 90mm look to make sure it fits your IQ taste.spl33nidoru
    • It's a bit of a strange camera, but that 6x9 is well impressive.tank02
    • I don’t want 2:3 ratio. My composition is best when I shoot in the ratio that I present. 4x5 or 6x7 is most pleasing.nb
    • I have a GW670 actually. It is slightly less impressive than the Mamiya 7 (image quality)nb
    • Plaubel is so optically perfect it looks digital to me. Also it's fragile, if its electronics break (which they are known to do), is an expensive brick.inteliboy
