I loved shooting with the Mamiya 6. The shutter's sound is very  
beautiful.
Very comfortable to hold and very well balanced. The viewfinder is very  
bright.
It is also a collapsable lens camera so it fits in a bag very nicely.

I have been looking, with no avail, for a 50mm lens (my favorite) for  
the Mamiya 6.
The one I'm holding in this picture can be mine with the 75mm lens and  
the 150mm lens is available easily.
