Looking for 6x4.5 SLR

I've come to think a good TLR is the sweet spot for travelling light with MF---good focussing mechanism, good lenses, manageable weight and bulk---but you generally have to accept a fixed lens, and again it's hard to get built-in metering (and if you do it's usually selenium).

The Rolleiflex GX and FX TLRs have modern semi-spot metering.

Touché. High price of admission though!

Of course, none of these are 6x4.5, not even my recent mention. The OP was pretty specific about not wanting 6x6 so as to avoid the need to crop.

I love my Pentax 645N. Yes, the grip is towards the back, but it isn't that likely you'll be handholding it with a huge lens. It's not the heaviest camera out there, but it's not a featherweight either. I can handhold mine with the 75mm or the 45mm on it, but not the 120mm. It also has two tripod mounts - one for horizontal and one for vertical, which I have found very helpful.
