Rangefinder 6 x 6

[Commonman]

I'm trying to find a less expensive version of the Mamiya 6. Basically, I just need a rangefinder camera, medium format (120 film), with a good lens.

I looked at some Fugi rangefinders but they were in the $300 -500 range.

Can anyone suggest such a camera that can be purchased for under $200 (but no Holgas please)?

I've already got a good TLR medium format camera.

Well, they are 6x7, the Koni Omega's are decent and can be had for around that with at least one lens and back.

Jurgen Kreckel 'certo6' on eBay sells refurbished folding MF cameras. There is a 6x6 with a BIN of $195 available now. His website is http://www.certo6.com/

Best,

JC, Helen, thanks!

Yes, Helen, I think an Isolette II may be just the ticket! Affordable, uses 120 film, all manual, good quality. Thank you. You have opened up a whole new world to me!

You might also wanna check the Zeiss Super Ikonta B. Sturdy and precise, built like a tank, great RF and with a very good lens (Tessar).

Mitica, thank you - I will check it out today. JC, I thank you as well for your input. I just acquired a Nikkormat FT (free) and I am a little distracted by this.

The Graflex XL and Mamiya Press would be good options if you're willing to give 6x9 a try.
