I've had my Mamiya 6 cameras for quite a while, and all three lenses
are outstanding. The only things is that they are not as flare-proof
as the Leica lenses, and with rangefinders that's more significant
than with SLRs. This stuff, along with a SWC make a great small MF
outfit, and all of this is about the size of the RZ with 1 lens. I
wouldn't use this for studio work, but if you like and can handle
rangefinders, the Mamiya 6 is great.
