The bronica 100-220 from keh in EX condition is not that much! including
shipping and vat and duty worked out at 511 pounds. (111 pounds of that
being vat and duty)
I don't think I could buy much in the way of second hand zeiss wides for
that!
The advantage I can see to the square format is that you effectively have
some shift built in so that you don't have to angle the camera up or down
to much. But the downsides are weight, extra cost and less shoots on a
roll. Ideally I would have gone for 6x7 but the weight, bulk, no 1:1 macro
and lack of telephoto zoom put me off.
