The Mamiya lenses are OK for color, not so good for B&W. Get the 6x7 if you can 
scrape up the cash. The quality difference in formats is considerable. 6x7 is a 
wonderfully proportioned negative.

What makes a lens okay for color but not B&W?

Jacob: I wish I knew. Some lenses, having been designed for color just are not 
good for B&W. Not enough subtlety in the tones.
