Bronica ETRS or Mamiya RB67 Pro SD

I'm going to come in on the side of the 6x7 supporters. 645, while undeniably better than 35 mm for making fine prints, just isn't that much bigger than 35mm to make the effort worthwhile unless size and weight considerations are paramount. If the argument were between the 6x6 square and 645, and you normally print a rectangular format, then it's a good choice because the usable area of a 6x6 negative when printing a standard 8x10,11x14, 16x20, etc.rectangle is essentially the same as 645. But if you're going for maximum image quality from medium format then 6x7 is the way to go. The format allows one to use almost all of the negative for the composition when the intention is to print the standard rectangular sizes.
