I'd love a Mamiya 7 for sure, but yeah - the cost is very prohibitive.
I was given the RB67 as a gift (picked up for £200-ish IIRC), which was the ideal situation. I'd wanted a MF something for so long but could never decide on what to actually get, so when someone else made the decision for me it was ideal (well, considering the size of the RB maybe not totally ideal).
As for climbing with it, it gets carried to the location but seldom actually continues to be strapped to my back when climbing - that's probably a step too far for me!
