Thank you very much for your advice, all of you! I will look into the Mamiya Twin lens reflexes and the RZ. After looking at
the prices again, I still think Hasselblad will be to expensive.

I have been shooting with 135 mm cameras for almost 20 years, both digital and film. However I would very much like to start shooting
with medium format. What attracts me is the big viewfinder, resulution and of course the relatively reasonable prices. I have read a lot, but
I still have many questions.
My plan is to use the medium format camera for portraits and landscapes, mainly, and maybe a little macro. Hence I need two lenses, a
wide angel and a short telephoto lens. I have been thinking about what film format to choose, and I think I like 6x6 best, but 6x7 could be
an alternative. I think 645 will be too small compared to 135 mm.
Weight and size is no problem. I will be using a tripod most of the time. I do not need a prism finder or light metering, a waist level finder
will do. And I certainly do not need autofocus. I want to spend $ 800-1000 (camera body, waistlevel finder, one 120-back and two lenses).
Hasselblad is too expensive. I have considered Bronica sq-ai or Mamiya RB67 PRO, but I would very much like to hear your opinions.
Best regards,
Dirk
