Subject: [Leica] off topic Medium format with character

Posting this here because you guys know lenses. I have a Mamiya RZ system
which works great in the studio. I want another medium format system that
is more portable. For pictures in the bush, and location portraits. My m
Leicas are great, but sometimes I want a larger neg.
From reading the post here, the keiv 60 would allow the use of zeiss lenses
and there twins, but the mechanics are questionalbe, and the big mirror is
a minus. Mamiya 6 lenses have no character ?? Mamiya tlr are no good??
Graflex xl is too long gone. Hassie has the lenses and the mirror. The
Mamiya tlr seems like a good balance, but I don't know anything about the
lens character.   You can email me if this is not the proper place.
thanks
Steve
