I have to admit to keeping myself focused on the modular systems like the 645 and the rz67. I've looked at the 6 and 7 series cameras as well, though. The appeal there is the size/weight compared to a 645 or rz67 rig.
If I go the rangefinder route it, sadly, seems like i'd have to go the 7 rather than the 6. I'm reading that mamiya is dropping all support for the 6, and that includes spare parts and repairs : (
Don't ask me why I seem to have gotten myself locked into Mamiya as my medium format vendor of choice. It just seems to have lucked out that way. (I think best used gear price compared to the contax, pentax, and hassleblad systems i've seen out there. Though damn, are the hassy's sexy - even before I start thinking about the H3D series).
I can't wait for the day when photography is just something I do on weekends and evenings. (Especially since, right now, work is consuming even my weekends and evenings!)
