For 6x6 I mostly use a Rollei 6008i SLR, (best metering system EVER).  I 
had tried a Hassleblad, but found the results from the Rollei superior.

Recently I bought yet another old TLR on ebay. It's a Czechoslovakian 
Meopta Flexaret with a Belar f3.5/80mm, item number 350019960572.

With it's front focusing levers, and its ability to be used with 35mm 
film, it's an interesting camera... but I like the quality of photos 
from my Rollei 2.8f more:
