I'm surprised nobody so far has mentioned the Pentax 645.  It's smaller 
and lighter than a 67 and has good optics and interchangeability.  I 
used one for quite awhile back when I was a photography student before 
I could afford a Hassy.  I thought it handled just like a 35mm, albeit 
a pregnant one.  Jo Bob says check it out...

> So, does anyone out there have recommendations for a medium format SLR camera, preferably manual, not very heavy, with nice optics (the lenses above appear to have great Bokah), that also does not say "I am a Hasselblad, steal me!". This Koni is pretty ugly and threatening which is beneficial. BTW, I did have the Pentax 6x7 in the past, and a Horseman medium format. Both were too big and heavy.
