    @chrispatmore89444 years ago I have a mamiya 645 super (two actually) with a similar set up, plus a 45mm wide and a 200mm. I got them a couple of years ago when they were a quite id="hidden11" a bit cheaper than they are now. In fact, i got one of the bodies for 25 because it was sold as " spares or repairs" i put a new battery in it and it worked perfectly. Great little-ish cameras. I also have a bronica sq for those times i need/want to shoot square. ...Expand
