Since I start getting heavily in to photography I have been jonesing for a MF camera. I have secured a well paying job for the summer and I have made the decision that I "must" have one before school starts next year. I have been doing all the reading so I do kind of know what I am looking for.
Right now I have a line on a Miamya RB-67, I am not sure if it is the Pro S or not. It would be $500 for the body, a back (not sure which), a WL finder, and a 90mm lens. This seems like a good deal but there have been a few on ebay recently for around 300-350, and a few for around 500 with a few lenses and multiple backs. I can get it from a local camera store though. I believe I could get them to toss in another lens for not much more.
I have also become drawn to the Fuji 6x9 rangefinders. Those go for quite a bit but I have seen a few good deals.
And just to throw more in to the mix. The same camera store has a Toyo (I think) 4x5 for $250 with ground glass but sans lens and film holders. But again they have them on hand and are very willing to deal.
