I looked at the Fuji zoom last year Winsor. It has a limited range
of focal lengths (55-90) and a pretty small max aperture (8
something). Its autofocus is also, apparently, pretty slow.
I am impressed at the small size of the Mamiya 7, but you have got to
want that size of negative, with its attendant costs. I am pretty
happy with the size and performance of the Bronica, for all its
idiosyncrasies.

I did some checking on the web:
Bronica RF: Size: 145.6 (W) x 107.3 (H) x 64 (D) mm
Weight: 810g (body only, w/o batteries)
Fuji GA645Zi: Dimensions: 161.5(w) x 108.5(h) x 73(d) mm (6 3/8 x 4
1/4 x 2 7/8") (when lens is retracted).
Weight: 885g (31.22 ozs.) without batterie
Mamiya 7: Dimensions: Body - 159x112x66mm (6.3x4.4x2.6")
W/80mm - 159x112x120mm (6.3x4.4x4.7")
Weight: Body-920g (32.4oz.)
W/80mm-1.210g (42.7oz.)
So you can see the Fuji with lens is smaller and lighter than either
of the others. I could not find any Mamiya 6 specs. Interestingly
my Mamiya 6 folder feels just as heavy as Mamiya 7 with lens
attached. It is definitely not pocketable even folded. None of them
will focus close enough for a tight head shot. 1 meter is about as
close as they get.
