Exactly! Not that I "hike" a lot, but I walk ~10 kilometers per day in the hoods around here. Or do I ride my bike, and I love light cameras, as much as I love good IQ. And film!
Quote: ps: this is actually a Fuji camera GF670 so I assume that you are referring to Fuji older RF (non-folder or folder)
Yes Luc, I know. I think the camera is some sort of collaboration between Cosina and Fuji, because the Bessa III and the GF670 is the same camera. I meant the older Fuji rangefinders with interchangable lenses. They too are great, but soooo large. And the viewfinders aren't as good, even if they of course are decent.
I think the Bessa III will be a great companion for my strolls in the suburbs. 80 mm on 6x7 is in fact what I consider the "perfect" angle of view.
