I think that they are a great idea. Here in Aus they are very uncommon. The only one I have seen for sale was priced, used, at about twice a well used Hasselblad 500C/M or four or five times a Mamiya or Bronica 645 kit. Cheers Hoppy -----Original Message----- To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] In which Kyle buys a Hasselblad.... I am one of those couple of folks. The RF 645 itself is not that expensive, and neither are the wide angle and normal lenses; the third lens, the 100mm (there is also an extremely rare 135mm) is a bit pricey, $800-$1000. The Bronica is a real rangefinder, very suited to Leica-like shooting in medium format. Nathan G Hopkinson wrote: > Or the Bronica RF645. We have a couple of folks shooting those.
