The beauty of the GS645 is that since it is a folder it is easy to carry along or put in a jacket pocket
and with a lens that good and with the modern emulsions available the quality is pretty astounding.
The Fujica 75/3.5 lens is just plain stunning and the viewfinder with it's rangefinder is bright and clear.
The vertical orientation of the viewfinder might throw you at first but it's comfortable
to use horizontally too.
I have seen them on ebay with a buy it now at $350-ish go with no bids because folks just
don't get what a great camera these are if you want a pocketable 6x4.5
