The Bronica RF645 W (c. 2002) is a wide-angle kit configuration of the RF645 — Bronica's sole medium-format rangefinder, introduced in 2000. The base RF645 shipped with a 65mm f/4 Zenzanon-RF lens (roughly equivalent to 40mm on 35mm); the W kit paired the same body with the 45mm f/4 Zenzanon-RF (approximately 28mm equivalent), offering a wider field of view suited to landscape, architecture, and environmental portrait work. The body is shared; the "W" designation identifies the lens and viewfinder frameline package.

Before you buy used
- **Shutter electronics** - leaf shutter in each lens is electronic; no mechanical fallback. A failed shutter may be unrepairable.
- **Rangefinder calibration** - check patch alignment at 1 m and infinity; recalibration requires a specialist.
- **Lens glass condition** - small front element on 45mm; check for fungus and coating wear.
- **Battery compartment** - CR2 cells; check for corrosion and correct voltage.
- **Light seals** - film door seals; standard replacement.
- **Finder clarity** - the optical viewfinder/rangefinder window scratches and foggs; inspect carefully.
- The RF645 W is rarer than the standard 65mm kit. Pricing reflects both the body and the 45mm lens, which is uncommon alone.
- Few technicians have worked on the RF645; Mamiya 7 specialists sometimes handle them. Budget accordingly.
