Im my personal experience, Mamiya TLR lenses are very good, even the old ones. They have a more subtle, smoother look than Pentax glass, wich is contrastier. I agree about prices. It�s absolutely impossible to me to buy another lens for my 6x7, but Mamiya tlr lenses are very reachable (at least here). I like TLRs a lot (I love my Rollei), I think they have a lot of advantages (no miror slap, no blackout, leaf shutter), and some disadvantages (parallax). You'll like it a lot. Don't buy the porrofinder. It sucks, is small and dark. Regards
