must point out the rational money angel on one shoulder says keep your money in your pocket, the GAS devil on the other shoulder says spend and spend

Could be worth a try - the Bronica 645 seems like nice cameras.

The ETR series lenses are good lenses - excellent clarity in B&W. I really should use mine more. Not having interchangeable backs is no real loss IMO, just finish the roll

On the way to work I went into the shop today, I have known the owner for about twenty years, I have bought loads of stuff off him in the past, today I handled the ETR-C, and the SQ-A and fell for the SQ with its square format. He also had two Blads in one 500cm with back and 80mm for £500 and a battered but fully working 500cm with back and 80mm for £300, I was tempted but cash is tight and the wife would not be best pleased
