Thanks for that. I've never used an RB67 but watched a guy work with
one some years ago. I think it's the only medium format camera I've
ever coveted (aside from a 6x17 something). I noticed they seem to be a
bargain right now and was wondering what lens to start with. The 65mm
is about 35mm equivalent focal length on a 35 mm camera. Sounds good to me.
