Mamiya 7's 80mm lens bokeh is supposed to be better than the 6 's.
7 is a 6x7 camera, 6 is a 6x6 camera. pretty similar otherwise, except that the 6 seems better built... the 7 feels more plasticky.... great lenses in both cases though.... note that I've heard the 7's rangefinder is banged out of alighnment a bit more easier than a 6, if they're dropped....
mamiya 7's seem more common than mamiya 6's
Both Mamiya's have meters and aperture priority If I recall correctly.. any meter on a blad is an odd beast, as you have to manually transfer the values.... but once you get used to a blad, it's cool.... you hand-hold meter, use a digicam's meter or learn to guess really well...
I love my Minolta Autocord TLR... and I wish I still had my Rolleiflex 3.5E Planar.... both delightful... but different.... and great for street shooting as they are sooo quiet and the bokeh is divine...
