Pete is right.  The Mamiya 6 is a fantastic, very Leica-like medium
format camera.  Everyone should own one -- if they just weren't so
darn hard to find in superb condition.

Fortunately for the frustrated I happen to have a Mamiya 6MF w/75mm
f/3.5 lens, in immaculate condition, for sale.

Drop me a line off list.
