If you're interested in the 7, a friend of mine here in Austin is selling hers:

it says it requires calibration... I've heard that 7's need this more than 6's... but again, that's a nice price for it though....

I've got a beautiful mamia 645 pro tl and 4 lenses that I'm considering selling if anyone is interested.

A lot of great responses here!
Creon - I will be emailing your friend, that is a good deal.
The thing about Fuji vs Mamiya for me is the feel. Just like with musical instruments, I want what I am holding to feel solid, for whatever reason it helps me "Focus" (seriously, no pun intended). I also think there is this indescribable untestable difference - just the feel of a photo - where Mamiya is far better than Fuji. I think I generally do not get blown away buy Fuji lens. Mamiya on the other hand, I do.
ETC
- awesome - hope it works out! 7 felt great in the hands - have fun shooting with itbigtrickagain

a review of the mamiya 6 vs mamiya 7:
http://www.kenrockwell.com/mamiy…personally though, i've found ken rockwell to be more of a gearhead than a photographer, so take his words with a grain of film.

I had one of these once.. the 90mm lens gave amazingly smooth images and focussed fast... but the film winding was uneven, last 3 shots often overlapped a few millimeters...

hey I have a mamiya 6 75mm lens I'll sell (if you can only find a body).
