Yea :-)

10% finder's fee :-)

I am debating how best to use up my medium format film. I can sell them, or
I can get a Holga, or your Kowa 6 - the biggest problem being that aquare
and I don't mix. I found that6x7 is already too square for me. Someone is
selling a Mamiya 645E+lens for $250, may be I will go with that.
