Probaly a Mamiya 7/7II. I've used the 65 and 80mm lenses and they were both excellent, pretty resistent to flare and really sharp corner to corner. I'm not sure wether it would be that great for Street photography, the mamiya is not particually fast to focus and the limited depth of field on 6x7 doesnt help.
The build quality of the body is a bit dubious (plastic and not that sturdy), but it is really light, the lenses dont have have click stops on the aperture and the meter is not ttl.
