I love Pentax have appx. 35 or so 35mm cameras and K20 but have always thought their medium format film cameras were too bulky,admittedly my Rollei 66 was mainly used in studio but got talked into the occasional wedding and there are more things I would spend $10,000 than Pentax digital medium format,I have not upgraded my K20D because for some unknown reason Pentax dropped tethering on their cameras and this will probably lead me to purchasing Canon mark5D so I can shoot tethered with my Mac and use an iPad as remote |

Yes indeed.
My dear dealer has at the moment a Zenza Bronica (looks very mint) for 200 € and 2 lenses for each 150 € for sale. Have had it in my hands. If I do not own the 2 Rolleiflexes ....mmh....

Thats right....
But I have only 2 eyes, 2 hands and only one time time for shooting. In the meantime I need more time to think about what system I will take with me than I need for taking photos. A real luxury problem ......

Well I too regret selling my SL66, but I started to get interested in portraits and the 1/30 sec syn flash wasn't ideal in my home setup...about 20 years ago I engaged a camera shop to sell it for me and the price was reasonable with planar, manual, case, extras, but no one was buying, the same with the 250mm sonnar lens selling separately...after a big reduction both were eventually sold after a few months and because of this big reduction I wish I'd kept it.

That could be either a Rollei SL 2000 F or a 3003. Not that well known as their medium format counterparts but offered as very complete systems including an interchangeable back.
