I'll second the recommendation for the Bronica ETRSi. I managed to piece
together a very complete kit for very little money thanks to their
obsolescence.
I just handled mine a bit and I do believe you could manage one with
only one hand provided you could preload the backs. A winder or motor
drive may or may not make one more handy for you. You'd have to try it
to see. I know I keep the motor drive on mine all the time and find it a
bit clumsy to use without it. Same thing with swapping lenses. It's a
large bayonet mount with a front release button so you may need to try
it to decide.
To fill in a bit more of what James started, the PE series lenses are
the last models and most are actually pretty good. They also have the
ability to be set in 1/2 stop increments vs. full stops for the earlier
lenses. He didn't mention the fixed 150mm f/3.5 lens but I think it's a
decent piece.
The prices have gone so low on the Bronica stuff I can't imagine them
getting much cheaper. So if you try one and don't like it you could
probably turn it for a small loss if any. Being a "dead system" with no
hope for auto focus or a digital back in the future has it's advantages...
