I think the Mamiya 6 only has 3 lenses. As far as I've been told it's a great camera.
Why not a Rollei TLR if you want minimalist?
No lens lust to worry about and easy compact kit.
I realize that I may not see a huge difference in quality on an 8 x 10 from a MF versus my Nikon D3.

I have two(Not boasting, just saying it's one of the few camera bodies of which I could actually justify having two, based on usage. The other is the rb)
For travel / documentary / scenic (but not portraiture or other bokeh photography) I recommend the 6 very highly. I do sometimes envy the 7 and the 43mm though....
Anyway, for a modest (re)entry into MF, the rb is a great choice.
Shut up! I don't need any more temptation! 6es are good, 6es are good... 50 is wide enough, 50 is wide enough
I have the M7II withe 4 lenses (43, 80, 150, 210) and can swear by all. The 43mm is amazing and fun to use. It feels like shooting a 4x5 because of the foreground abilities and extreme DOF. Highly recommended if you can find one for cheap.
Very nice! One of my favourite shots, (there was a url link here which no longer exists) was taken with the 50Also perfectly sharp all 'round. Being new to MF at the time, I was completely stunned to find that even if I cropped all the way down to a 35mm frame size, the image quality holds up very well. And that was shot to infrared film, not exactly the smoothest grain...
I also do find the square aspect ratio very special, it definitely influences the way I compose.
Besides that, the collapsibility of the 6es is a big bonus for me, I travel very easily with two bodies in a small bag.
Sirius Glass: That's some serious glass!
That being said, I would still prefer the M6 body although I am the opposite, the 6x6 really messes with my head....probably because I shot 6x9 for years.
