Christos, My first impression was that of, "Why 645 if you want to go medium
format." The main benefit of the larger format for most folks is the larger
negative. The 645 is larger, but is essentially the first step up the food
chain from 35mm.
A couple I might look at would be the Pentax 6X7 and Fuji 6X9 models. Both
are pretty large cameras, producing nice size negatives.
If you are really just wanting to get your toe in the water, you might look
at either a Voigtlander RF (if you are mainly doing B&W) or a Voigtlander
Bessa II. The first should be available for under $200 and the II might set
you
back $500 or so, depending on which lens you bought.
Pricing being where it is today, you might also keep an eye out for a
Hasselblad. Bill Barber
