I drooled over medium format when I was younger but never got one. Did borrow an old Rolleicord and also a Mamiya 330 and was very impressed by the image quality, especially the Rollei. The Bronica lenses were always thought to be better than the Mamiya from what I remember but either would be superb. Medium format photography is a different ballgame to 35mm being much slower, deliberate and contemplative. If no prism finder is used then you have to get used to moving the camera what seems the "wrong" way when composing. Reckon I would go for a Bronice SQA 6X6 as I (and others) found looking down on the screen with two eyes helped in composing the photo for some reason. Anyway it sounds like fun whatever you end up with. By the way Don I have given my wife cameras before so I can buy a new one but always reckoned I could always borrow her "new" camera if needs be!
