In medium format I'd stay with Pentax. That was a recent choice for me,
and the decision was based on three factors: 6x7 configuration,
affordability, and lens quality.
I haven't ever given serious thought to what I would choose in 35mm.
Like Shel, I have little desire for automation. I would like to have a
Leica and a few lenses, but I use 35mm with long lenses quite
frequently. I guess I'd opt to keep my LX and Pentax manual lenses. It
seems to be just about right for me. Although I might be just as happy
with an F3 Nikon.
