Just bought a GA645Wi

Hello,

after going back and forth between the Mamiya 7/6 and Bronica RF645 I decided to go for the Fuji. I am now convinced that this is the most portable wide MF. On the cheap side, if you compare it to equivalent wides on MF...

After using mostly mechanical manual focus cameras I have to admit it's a camera made by aliens. Little buttons and lights and beeps. But I don't really have any of the problems people seem to rave about on the interweb - slow auto focus, irritated skin from plastic or loud film advance. I don' even know when the shutter trips - I had to activate the beeps to know when I took the picture.

It's a different experience, but I think we're going to get along just fine. One problem, though - the AF window is really dusty, I mean if I put a flashlight in there it's kinda populated. Otherwise the camera is in perfect shape. Do you think it's a problem? I am shooting the test roll and trying to learn how to auto focus right. I can still send it back, so can you please tell me if the dust can make the AF to miss (the dust is in windows in the middle, not in the black round ones).

Thanks
