I've been sort of drifting back to film, specifically B&W. Picked up a Pentax LX (the top of line ca. 1980) and several lenses. Took a bunch of nice pics at a Cowboy Action Shooting match. Ended up digitizing them and sending to the participants. Decided I might want to try 120 film, so just got a 1970 Mamiya RB67 w/127 lens and 120 back. Picked it up from Fleabay for $199 shipped from Japan. Bought it on 11/13, arrived on 11/17. It's a monster, all mechanical and metal, weighs 6 pounds. B&H has 120 film. Will dig out my heavy tripod, Gossen meter and shoot some landscapes. At least I'll get out of the house with a specific purpose. Will post results in a while.
Beats having to wait (and pay for) for a Nikon 850; duh!

great camera system and still used by a lot of professionals (annie Liebowitz for one, when not using her leica S2) i use the rz variant and these cameras cannot be beat. hope you have a lot of fun - also, ebay has a lot of excellent lenses for your camera making it an affordable system for you.
