There's a Bronica RF system with 2 lenses for sale on the Bay, but it's a bit expensive IMO. A good Mamiya Universal is never to be missed, too. You can shoot 6x9 with them. That's double the size of a 645. If you want to spend some bucks, there's ofcourse the Mamiya 6 and 7s, or a Plaubel Makina. Ah, that beautiful Makina with it's Nikkor lenses... And if you want to go big and heavy TLR, a lot of nice and relatively alternatives pop up: the Mamiya's, the Bronica's, the older Rolleis, and even Hassies. Or an old Pentax, ofcourse. So many nice photographic machines around these days. > From: Eric <ericm@pobox.com> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug@leica-users.org> > Date: Sun, 13 Nov 2005 06:31:25 -0600 > To: Leica Users Group <lug@leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] OT: bronica 645 RF? > > Jim: > >> I recommend a Rollei 6008i.
