Whoops bad website. Go to used-->Mamiya-->M645 Cameras where you should find an M645J complete with one lens for £130. It's a little battered but it works.

Looking at used prices of Pentacons it seems unlikely that it will stay below £120, there are some going for as high as £300!

Question: do you develop your film and if not who does, and do you make prints, scan or both?

I can and do develop and print, B&W... and I have also a store that does for me too (Colour negs mostly)... I think I will split between the store and then the very best I will do myself so I can dodge/burn to my choices etc... Don (Hoey) here on WPF has shown me the best way to replicate negs, better than any scanner I have seen/used... so I will be using his technique for digitizing the negs : )
