I'm trying to sell my Mamiya RZ67, but I would like to continue using a medium format camera. I recall using a Hasselblad in school and I liked it a bit. I just can't wrap my head around a 6x6 picture. I love my 6x7, but the Mamiya RZ67 is very heavy. I'd like something with a good name, an internal meter and light weight.
Perhaps there is a 6x7 camera I don't know about. Please let me know. Thanks.
Thanks for the response. I've looked at Pentax 67ii and Mamiya 7ii. I'm pretty sure I used the Pentax 67 w/ a light meter. I do some more research. Thanks again.

sorta. I suppose I could just scan and photoshop the neg into a rectangle picture.
Then you'd have a 6x4.5, which would be what a Mamiya 645AF would give you. There was a guy selling a full setup on APUG.org the other day for like $500.

it sounds like he likes 6x7 though. and while 6x7 is only about 15% bigger than 6x6 it is more than 50% bigger than 645.
I thought it was too squarish until I tried it myself.

The only other 6x7 SLR is the Bronica GS-1, which while being lighter than the RZ, is by no means a lightweight, and shares a similar layout, the main difference being focusing via helical vs bellows. 6x7 SLRs are going to be large/heavy.
