Or is the Mamiya 7 the way to go?

hassy has more portability, interchangeable backs, and its signature image rendering (bc of lenses).
p67 is a huge ass system with literally every lens you can possibly imagine and outstanding image quality every time. rendering is also very sweet too.
i see the mamiya 7 as more of a documentary/travelling photog the most.

i think youd be fine between the 67 or the 500c, the compromise with the 67 is weight and bulk, but you get a bigger neg, landscapes are gorgeous, portraiture has been done a lot with the 67s. also it doesnt use interchangeable backs, you have to finish the roll if you want to switch to a different film. i dunno if there is a compromise with the 500c, but personally i like the 67 more.

Sounds good, thank you for the advice. I'm leaning ore towards the hassy right now, mainly for the portability and the backs.

Bronica SQ-A is just as good, not prone to jamming due to incorrect order of operations, and much much cheaper.

I'm about to buy a Bronica Zenza ETRS for €200, is this a good price? Any specific things to look for/watch out for? What parts/functions should I check before buying it?

Does it come with a lens and a back? Then the price is fine. I just bought a etrsi with the 75 and the 50mm for 350.

Oh sorry, I should have specified that. It comes with a 75mm lense and two extra backs (of which I don't know if he means 2 extra plus the one already attached to it) and from the looks of the photo in the advertisement, a speed grip. The backs do lack the plate to make them light tight, it seems.

I've shot all three cameras and am currently using the hassy 500cm w/80mm as my main film cam right now. the Pentax 67 is a FABULOUS camera, I can't stress that enough, but the hassy is just comfier to use and i really like the waist level finder. if you go with the hassy invest in an acute matte focusing screen. my etr was the first MF camera I ever had and I've taken some great pics with it, it's just unwieldy plus my lens for it has some loose mechancs in it and the meter and body rely on battery power to function. nothing beats a fully mechanical camera. either way, any camera will get you great images.

OP I own a 500cm and I really wish I had a 67 instead
