You could get a Rolleicord or a Mamiya 645 with that money.
I'd decide first whether I'd want 6x6 or 6x4.5 or 6x7..

Thanks! :)

Hmm yeah that's a good point - hadn't thought about that at all. I've mostly shot landscapes on the 6x6 lubitel, so maybe 6x45 would be a little more suited to that, would be fun to experiment with a different format.

@amey A Mamiya you say?

Being sold tomorrow unfortunately. I highly rate the 645 series though. Used the m645 first for a term a couples years back then invested in a 645super a year ago for my last year of uni. Best upgrade ever!

The 645super has loads of interchangeable bits, lens, ae prisms viewfinders, backs, battery winder or crank options, straps etc. useful for all situations. Simple and easy to work with and quite portable with the right parts. You do need quite stiff tripod though as it can weigh a bit with a wide angle, auto winder battery grip and ae prism finder.

Fujica gw670 could be a good shout if you want to get larger negs but not 6x9 format?
