Hi Albert,
Robert White (www.robertwhite.co.uk) still has some Fuji GW690III in
stock, but the GSW690III is out (and significant discounts on Mamiya stuff).
FWIW, I suggest you consider 645 SLRs. In going to rangefinders from SLRs
like the OM, I discovered that I had grown used to EXACTLY composing in the
viewfinder and was thrown off stride by the "surprises" from RF cameras from
inexact framing. Also, the shutter of the Fuji 69s is LOUD compared to
OMs--even though they use leaf shutters.

Well, the news came down the pipeline from Fuji that they are
discontinuing the Fuji GW rangefinders (GW670III, GW690III, GSW690III)
as well as the 645 RF's. Ouch.
They are going to concentrate on the Fujiblad line..
So my hopes of a GW690III are shattered (yes, there's still evilbay.. but)
I'm curious what all of you are lugging around (if any) as far as MF as
a big brother to your OM.
Mamiya 7's?? That's a house mortgage and a half last time I checked!!
Albert
