(And I could carry two lenses and backs plus flash). Lighter than, but arguably as good as RB/RZ. (Couldn't afford 'Blad)! Better lenses and build quality than ETR/Si. Oh no! (Least ways not without an assistant or two)! You don't carry around a body and three lenses, couple or three backs, flash, filters bits and bobs. He then went RB67 and managed for years with a single lens (And an occasional borrowed one)! Great quality, built like a tank but HEAVY and BIG. The latter stuff just seemed, plasticky and gimmicky.ДЄ colleague went ETR which answered these lackings, but we all felt the lens quality wasn't quite there. Nice lenses, but with the fixed back and only a single leaf shutter lens for fill flash, lacking in flexibility. 'Ideal format', always seemed a marketing thing and will probably work against you now a days with the lack of processing houses any way.Д«ack in the day when I was trying to earn a living photographing weddings and anything else, the M645 was the Amateur intro to MF. If you want to, you CAN use a 645 back and prism finder. Square is, and always will be, the perfect format for portraits. I would try and convince you that 6ењ† is the way to go as the best overall compromise. Check the 'Lets talk about MF' thread started by Naboo32 which looked at these Just to throw a spanner in the works if your looking at cheapish MF cameras then the TLR's like the Rolleicords or the Yashica 124 but you are then only using one lens and the square format. Oh, one last thing, I have used a 645 system in the past and while using them in landscape format is great, turning them in their side to be used in portrait I found odd because they are not scaled up 35mm cameras and handle differently. Wide angle lens generally are 65 or 50 mm

The Mamiya was a creation on its own as their big seller was the RB/RZ67s (they only ventured in to 6ењ† via their excellent rangefinder camera which they changed to 6x7 later)Д«ronica ETRS, SQ and GS systems are basically the same body design but made larger for the different formats.Д«oth systems are really good but I think if I was looking for one then I would look at the Mamiya 645 Pro or the Bronica ETRSi cameras.Д§5mm normally their standard lens, as John points out' is equivalent to 50mm in 35mm terms. They can be less expensive than their 6ењ† counterparts.Д«ronica ETR and Mamiya 645 were both aimed at the same market place. You can get 15 shots on a roll of film (12 for 6ењ†, 10 for 6x7, 8 for 6x9) Most have some sort of metering prisms with them. Slightly smaller and lighter than the 6ењ†cameras (talking SLR systems here not folders or TLR's) 645 is seen by many as not a true Medium Format camera for the reason that the 645 format is not significantly bigger than 35mm, I think it is only larger by a factor of 1.5 (not 100% on that).Д¦ењ† is seen as the the first medium format camera systems that anyone should even consider
