Thanks Paul,  I'm more inclined towards the 6x7 format and didn't like the
Pentax 67II that I tried a while back (mainly because of mirror vibration).
A friend who has the Mamiya and loves it...so I figured I'd give that a try.
A body, the 43 and 65mm lenses will cost me $200 for a week...so I figure
its worth a try.  If I don't like it...I'll give the Bronica a try...but if
I'm going for negative "real estate"...I really would rather go 6x7.  Looks
like the Fuji GW670III might also be a candidate.
