+1 on the ETR/ETRS serie. Is reasonably priced and really well build. Glass is amazin.
I think image quality may depend more on other factors, like film/developer that the size. Quite portable and a pleasure to use.
Also use the Horseman 980 both on tripod and handheld. Really nice camera and images.
For 6x7, GS1 or RB67 are hard to beat. I use the RB67 and it can be cumbersome, although I use it hadheld from time to time. Mamiya glass is amazing. You can throw in Mamiya Press for something unusual.
Best regards.
“Everything but a Hasselblad is a waste of money” … probably the most misguided advice anyone could give.
I have also seen “Hasselblad is the only real camera”.
Both belong in an out-of-context on x.com
Well, after all that, I decided to go in on a Mamiya Press Super 23 with a 6x7 back, for $219. Definitely an underdog pick from what I've read here, but I like the idea of having a weird camera, the condition seems good with easy returns to Japan, very cheap compared to these others, and I've liked everything I saw about the camera online. Easier purchase than a lot of these other more expensive cameras!

I have the Universal.
If nothing else, it will be a great work-out!
Hope you build some muscle
Although bulky, I don't think they are the heaviest of the cameras, If you ever feel like testing how large format work, you can get a bit of the experience buying the hooded viewfinder for the back.
Wish you luck and I can recommend the 65mm. Very good lens for landscape. Havent used the 50mm but probably will get it for Christmas.
Best regards and good luck.
@Marcelo Paniagua it's a 6x6 mask plate with the additional 6x4.5 mask clipped on. For the multiformat film holders. Those require masks for the film gate and would be advanced via the red window.

It snaps off, with luck you got the multiback, rare and expensive. Allows for 6X9, 6X6 and 645 fornates with the same back, the masks are needed to frame in the viewfinder.
From what I saw, I got the 6x9 back, but I'll have to confirm when it arrives.
