Design
The GA645Zi has a plastic body covered in titanium on the top, front, and bottom. That keeps it feeling solid without making it heavy. It was designed to look like a luxury 35mm point-and-shoot, just scaled up for medium format film. The lens coating is optimized for both color and black-and-white film, with strong contrast and balanced rendering.
Market
The GA645Zi has held its resale value. Used examples have been listing at $1100 in recent years. One collector reported paying $550 for a unit nearly three years prior to 2020. Demand comes from film photographers who want portability, autofocus, and medium format image quality in one camera.
