I got myself a M645j and two Sekor-C lenses last summer as I wanted to try moving from 35mm (Minolta), especially for Landscape and I love the camera. I meter either with my Weston V or with my Minolta 35mm. Okay so I can't change film mid-roll but for the moment that doesn't bother me. The quality of the prints is excellent. I got the entire kit via Ebay for about $250 (inc shipping). I don't have a WLF and at times I feel I would like one, may pick one up later.
