You get the benefits of interchangeable backs and finders, and greater flexibility on what you buy. I've had a Bronica SQ-A kit that I got from KEH in 'excellent' condition for a couple of years, and I love it. SLR body, waist-level finder, 80/2.8 lens, 120 back - then it was $750, but I've seen them going for less now. > // richard (This email is for mailing lists.
