I have seriously considered it. It's a beautiful modern RF folder that
takes 6x6 and 6x7 negs. You can even get them used now, at least the
Japanese badged GF670 version, for ~$1800-$1900 on eB*y, if you wait.

That's nothing wrong with it per se except being slightly on the large
side, and priced at $2350-$2500 and plenty to love: modern electronic
shutter, large negs, and did I say large negs?
