Are you looking to sacrifice some versatility (lens selection, etc.) for more portability? If so then a rangefinder like the Fuji 670/680/690 maybe?
If you're looking for interchangeable lenses then I'd go Pentax 6x7, not small or light by any stretch of the imagination but they're built like a tank.

Not really a recommendation as i've no impirical knowledge of them ... but I want to try an old voigtlander Perkeo. They are tiny and you can buy them cheap, or refurbished from the US for not much more. Fixed lens (a bit soft wide open) and zone focus though.

Unfortunately there's no compatibility with the lenses, but how about the smaller brother, a Mamiya M645?
This should feel funny for you, coming from the huge RB..There are so many great medium format systems out there.. I think you have to decide what format you want first, and whether you want interchangable lenses.

Sorry to hear this. From experience I can recommend Mamiya C3, C33, C330. You lose out on the widest lens, interchangeable backs, and are stuck with a square format (which I prefer), but you also retain the same no-battery reliability. My fave of this group was the C33. Really robust.

So, my rb67 is knackered. A broken component means it focuses short.
I'm thinking I might sell all my lenses and all other bits to find a more convenient medium format system - i'm pretty sure the size of the thing contributed to its demise. It was simply too heavy to be able to pack safely in a rucksack, and must've been bashed in the process.
So - medium format suggestions under £500?
