Hang a Pentax 6x7 around your neck then a Mamiya 7 and you will
understand the advantages of MF rangefinders. Compared to a 35mm slr MF
rangefinders are not quick, are not inconspicuous, not flexible, they
provide big original images from a camera that can be carried.
There's a lot of opinions on the web that can more than prepare you to
look for what's important to you. google for Mamiya 7 (or whatever) and
you'll find dozens of thoughtful opinions or go to photo.net

The only reason to consider MF is if you make enLARGEments. Me ... I
love those 16"x20" prints.

My friend made some 6x6's from his hassy. Beautiful. In some of the
wedding scenes, the square cropping was better. In some other cases,
not as nice.
