Man I forgot how much I love these cameras. Feels so good.
Just remembered I also owned a Rolleiflex (with 3,5 Tessar) and a couple Lubitels too. Looking at the square hood, it’s for Yashica, maybe you can find a Yashi cheaper to try.

I shot medium format SLRs for a very long time before somebody gave me their Rolleicord, and I really like it as well.
Especially the fact it's lighter, and quiter. Also people love it ("wow, how old is that?" etc.)
: ]
They are slower though, the matte screen is dim and prone to glare (and upgrading that costs as much as the whole camera basically) so I do need more time to focus, and the handling is a bit fiddly still, maybe it's me though, being used to Mamiya SLR so much..

Thanks all for the thorough input. I'm going to hold fire and do additional research. Probably wait for a competitively priced ETRS or 645 w/ 120 back. I've gotten onto a mate who's Bronica SQ-A I am going to borrow for a bit.
I need to do more research on the different aspect ratios and limiting factors i.e wanting to shoot portraits is obviously going to be hard w/ a waist level finder. Initially I want to shoot street-y landscape stuff I guess so interested to see how that will pan out with a more square image plane.
