: What I would like, would be a light, 6x6 body, 50mm, 80mm and 150mm or
: so..... At a somewhat affordable price...

If you're already used to the Rolleiflex TLR, maybe it's an idea to have a
look at the Mamya C (220/330) TLR's with exchangeable lens boards. You can
get such a kit for $1000 or less. Look for instance at KEH:

C330S+80mm/F2.8...$400
55mm/F4.5.........$300
180mm/F4.5........$200

Of course such setups are never really light. A big advantage of the Mamya C
system is that the cameras have a built-in bellows for close-ups (but a bit
difficult to use with a TLR).

Also very affordable and a bit smaller and lighter is the Mamya M645 System,
if you can live with the 6x4.5 format:

M645 1000S+120 insert+80mm/F2.8+AE prism+power drive+adapter
..................$600
55mm/F2.8.........$300
150mm/F3.5........$300

This is a SLR System - much more accessories and lenses are available
(fisheye, super wide, super tele, screens, bellows, winders/motors etc)
compared to the TLR C cameras.
