I was recently looking at some of the slides I took with a Mamiya 7ii & 65mm kit I used to own, and the image quality is just soooo good. I'm kicking myself now for selling that kit. I thought about buying the same setup again, but prices on Mamiya 7 gear have gone crazy since being discontinued, so unfortunately that's out of the question.
So I'm wondering is there any other 120 film RFs out there that would offer similar image quality and shooting experience to a Mamiya 7ii and 65mm lens, but that won't break the bank? I'm thinking around $500 or so. I'm ok with anything from 6x6 to 6x9 and I'd prefer a lens equivalent to 35mm on 135 film (can be fixed or interchangeable). Oh, and the lighter the better, though I realise that may be a tall ask for a medium format camera.
