NO OBJECTIONS TO HASSEY, but how about Mamiya 7 (or 6)?
I used to have a "7".  This is, in fact, an MF Leica-M (MF-Minolta CLE, to
be more precise).  The optics (wide-angles, in particular) are superb, if
not better than Zeiss; The viewfinder is clean; The size/weight is
relatively less burdensome.
