>>3969627>Bronica ETR seriesthey're very hard to find where i live, so i don't have much experience in that regards; there's plenty zenza bronicas (nikkor) who are pretty much hassel clones; the etrsi i only played with, never had one; it gave the impression of being pretty much like the mamiya rb67: large and heavy, made of metal, the lenses are well regarded, and it's pretty much all mechanical, including leaf shutter; that is, a heavy camera preferably for use in studio
> mamiya c330these are twice the size of rollei or yashicas with not much to offer as advantage, except that it has interchangeable lenses, including, which are now pretty old but still decent; it's the poor man's alternative to wide rollei, which has become a collectors object thus commanding way to high prices for what it is
the size of the c330 wasn't worth its benefits so i quickly traded it for a yashica mat lol
most pro mf cameras are quite old by now, unless you're spending some serious cash on not so reliable cameras (like rollei 6008s) or latest hasselblads (which seem to be improved, tho the 503cx wasn't old either and not that good), these are the ones i'd suggest:
slr
> mamiya rz67you'll get every feature you may want, there many dumb proof mechanisms in it, the floating element lenses are astoundingly good, both very smooth oof and sharp in focus; plus they can be easily found as late as late 2000s, some new in box (such was mine)
> pentax 67probably it was the most used mf slr by pro photographers for about 30 years; all models compatible; 105mm f2.4 is a very very nice lens, even in earlier iterations; and it all can be found cheap; a 'no-frills' option which is reliable; even when it fails, it's quite simple to fix it, like a large sizes pentax me super
> mamiya/pentax/contax 645these three are all reliable cameras with great selection of lenses, especially in later years; very late models had auto focus and some accept digital backs (never had any exp with these tho)
