I was going to buy a cheap Bronica SQ-A on ebay but someone had the same idea and bought it like 5min before (HNNNG).

Now there seems to be a shortage of these cameras on ebay at decent prices (EU).

What other 6x6 affordable cameras do you guys recommend? Or is a 645 like the etrsi enough?
Thing is I like square format better and being 6x6 I could always crop to an horizontal or vertical should I need to without losing much.

I'm looking to do portraiture mainly, if that matters.

TL;DR
>want cheap 6x6 or possibly 6x4.5
>suggestions?

If you like square, go square. Just wait, they'll pop up eventually. I just bought a whole set of Bronica lenses (50mm / 80mm / 150mm / Prism) for 170$ shipped for a friend. They're good cameras to find a deal on.
You should consider non-SLR cameras as well, TLRs are quite nice to work with, and if you don't mind 6x7, the RB67 or Koni Omega (rangefinder) are one of the best deals you can get in MF, going for dirt-cheap prices while there's really nothing wrong with them.
6x4.5 is nice as well, Mamiya 645s are dirtcheap and easy to find.

That's cheap. I'd like to get a 150mm along with the standard 80mm as well. What's the prism though?
Where do you usually look for deals on these kind of cameras outside of ebay (that ship within EU, you're from NL correct?)?

Yeah I don't mind 6x7 either. I also looked into the RB67 but I think every kit was well above 500eur, I'll look again.
Never heard of that Koni Omega, I'll go search.

Thanks!

Yup, Dutchfag here. I have an RB67 for sale actually, I'm asking 300 euro for a kit (90mm / WLF / body / back) Pro-S model if I believe correctly. You should be able to find them for that price as well elsewhere.
Prism is the viewing prism, like in a normal SLR as opposed to a waist level finder.
Best prices are usually found in local ads (Pick up the stuff yourself) or on fairs.

Man, do I feel dumb right now. I know what a prism is but for some reason I thought it was some different kind of lens lol.

Where do you have yours advertised?

I don't have mine advertised, I'm not actively selling it, in no hurry. If you're interested though, I can snap some pictures and send them your way.

Sure, I'd like to take a look at it.
Junkmail up there just for 4chan purposes.
I'm going to take a look at the other suggestions you made and tell you if I'm interested.
