Nathan, I knew that you were an owner and have shared some pics. I think 
that they are a great idea. Here in Aus they are very
uncommon. The only one I have seen for sale was priced, used, at about twice 
a well used Hasselblad 500C/M or four or five times a
Mamiya or Bronica 645 kit.

Cheers
Hoppy

I am one of those couple of folks. The RF 645 itself is not that 
expensive, and neither are the wide angle and normal lenses; the third 
lens, the 100mm (there is also an extremely rare 135mm) is a bit pricey, 
$800-$1000.

The Bronica is a real rangefinder, very suited to Leica-like shooting in 
medium format.
