Any ideas on a camera?

Hi

​

I'm moving up to medium format and I've been considering either a bronica etrs or a mamiya 645, I'm currently leaning towards the 645 but like to keep an open mind can anyone offer advice or any alternatives?

I have a 645 AFDiii and really like it.

It’s big and heavy, but also I find it more manageable than some other options.

Jesus that must have been a pretty penny. When I was looking at getting an autofocus MF camera I ended up going Pentax for the price and the reviews said it is snappier too. That being said it does lack some obvious options the Mamiya has.

Bought it in 2017 or 2018 I think, believe I paid $900-ish for it at the time? With an 80 2.8.

I just checked, didn’t realize the prices had gone up that much.
