Well they aren't leicas, at least hoping for tripod-free under  
available light, but you will miss a whole experience if you don't  
try one.
The Mamiya 6-7 glasses are on the same line in quality and  
performance that german's and, in the other hand, having the truly  
best glass available isn't as crucial as it is in 35mm, so if you're  
planning to buy anything take care that the system fills up your  
expectatives, such lenses (all RFs have a limited set available),  
ability to do macro work, or digital back compatibility.

As everything in life we can't have it all.
I love my Mamiya 7, but I love my TLR also, and my leica M. Just  
different tools for different moods :)
