Well, it ain't exactly cheap or even down to the wire on the bidding, but it does look pretty. Window shopping then.

Original Mamiya Press, back, masks and 65mm lens w/viewfinder

Why do these cameras seem so appealing?

Ooh ... aah.  

Must be because they're butt-ugly and awkward.  I'm expecting to find one in a junk store any day now.

Ugly or not, in the right hands they can produce some great 6X9 results.
If only I had the money...

I've got a Super 23 and what attracted me (feature-wise) was an inexpensive, 6x9 hand-holdable camera. Alas, I'm lacking a rollback for it and I can't seem to find any 2x3 film holders locally. I also happen to really like these funky Mamiya cameras.
