Well-known
I'm quite fond of my ETRS, although I've beefed mine up a bit with the AEII prism and the speed grip, so I call it the BMFSLR (Big, err, 'Mirror Flipping' Single Lens Reflex!).

Also, I do like the ability to switch film magazines, so I can load one magazine with colour film, and another with black and white film, then switch between them if I think a shot would look better with one than the other. Which you can't do in a 645 RF...
(Mind you, I wish I'd got a 645RF while I had the chance...)

@segedi: Nice photos of Florence!
So you say I should rethink the portrait orientation of the many 645 RF cameras and give it a try? Looking at your images I have to agree on your point...
Well, time will tell, but you all put now a bug in my ear, after I was already capitulating.
Thank you!

Yes, your 645 prop did work 
Reading reviews, opinions and specifications, it could be a Bronica RF645. But maybe I start over with a fixed lens 645 RF, just to give it a try... At least my wishlist for Xmas has one line more.
Will tell you as soon I've seen what Santa thought would be good for me.
