My take on medium format was to go Bronica etrsi.
Since Bronny was killed off my Tamron the second hand prices have
crashed. Over a period of about 6 months I got a etrsi body, finder, ae3
metered prism, maxwell grid focusing screen, 7 lenses (40mm, 50mm 60mm
75mm, 105 macro (1:1) and the wonderful 100-220 and essentric 45-90 and
5 backs plus a seed grip and some accessories inclusing a 1.4x converter.
The 40 and 50mms are not great at infinity in the edges. The 60 and 75
are nice and the 100-220 is good enough that I never felt the need to
get primes in that range.
