Hi!
I think it would be prudent to open a new thread...
What I was thinking of is a camera with standard lens, preferably fixed
lens. I have eyed some Fuji models. I want something that is reasonably
light, with good quality and reasonable versatility...
I think I can live with Pentax 645 and 75/2.8 lens... But I think I'd
want a MLU so that I won't have to haul a tripod with me *all the time*
if I go shooting MF...
Well, in fact, except that wonderful day in Norway, I am completely
clueless about MF...
I have a friend who is deeply in love with his RolleiFlex, but I may be
not good enough with mechanics to try and repeat his path...
For now, on KEH, they show Pentax 645 (basic, manual focus) body for
order of $300 and FA 75/2.8 lens (supposedly I'd go AF some day) $250
more... There are some RolleiFlexes for similar sum. They also list some
Fuji GA645 with 60/4 lens for similar money.
As for what Frank suggested... I've seen some shots made with
YashicaMat... They did not impress me really. The lens was probably very
simple triplet variety. It was sharp but I am not after bleeding
sharpness...
Well, I am confused all right.
Any help in unconfusing this individual will be appreciated.

P.S. I lean towards Fuji cameras because I know they'll be much lighter
than Pentax. Also, evidently, having fixed lens means it is leaf shutter
and so it does not suffer from shake too much...
