Is it the folding Mamiya 6 that focuses by moving the pressure plate? I looked at a bunch of those but ended up with a Super Fujica Six.
Nice images!
Those are great because you have RF coupling but also no indexed wind-on, just the little red window. So you can take multiple exposures and move the frame around in any increment you want.
I had one in my time living in Switzerland and did a bunch of multi exposure "panoramic" landscape shots. But I could still nail focus in the near field like a portrait. Like the best worlds of a Holga and a TLR.

**Instead of the lens moving, the film plane (the back of the camera) moves back and forth to achieve focus.**
Is that what you mean pressure plate?
I still have to get used to focusing and loading film of this camera.
I'm also have my eyes on Fujica Super Six and Super Ikonta 534/16 if the prices are right.
It is hard to find a good condition Fujica Super Six and Ikonta 534/16 is overprice IMO.
BTW , did you post photos that took with Super Six in previous pages or I overlooked?

It took a while but I was able to find the Fujica from a US based seller in New York. It looks like it had been used a lot but not abused. Being a seventy year old camera, the viewfinder was hazy and the shutter felt like it was full of molasses. I did put a few rolls through it before sending it for service. Ironically, it's currently with Dan Daniel in up state New York. It does have auto-indexing, so no red window and it feeds the film from right to left with the viewfinder window on the right. At first I had a few problems with the shutter actuator, It was a simple matter of making sure the front standard was firmly locked in place. The 75mm 3.5 Fujinar lens is a good performer. I wanted a square format camera but didn't want a TLR or an SLR. Here are a few images:

They look pretty sharp.
The folding medium format is compact and fun to use, but if I have to bring one for vacation I would still prefer my Rollei 3.5F.
Samsung 290G on Delta 100, Perceptol 17:00 at 68F. Scanned via V800 and NLP.
This was a test roll to test both the camera lens and Delta 100 developed in Perceptol. The lens is sharp enough and the grain is basically non-existent. Nice contrast with the Delta 100 as well.
