Used system for about $250?

Silly post. A budget with no other information. Who cares if the OP doesn't know what he wants to do?

It won't be if you fools keep suggesting it on the Internet!!!

true.
okay, camera is GREAT, but Sekor lenses are just awful, DON'T BUY IT, they suck big time, get a hassy zeiss instead! :P

okay, camera is GREAT, but Zeiss lenses are just awful, DON'T BUY IT, they suck big time, get a Mamiya 645 1000s with Sekor lenses instead! :P

Mamiya 645 1000s, best buy.

I asked about that at Best Buy, but they just looked at me funny.

OK first off wow... I would never think I would have gotten so many helpful suggestions, thanks!!

What I am looking for is a interchangeable lens system with wide angle to standard lens. 645, 6x7,6x8, 6x9 are fine although 645 is cheaper.

I also want a metered system as in I dont have a light meter (My digital camera is my lightmeter).

I was thinking in a Pentax 645n system, they are relatively cheap at adorama.


**Also I think this is a double post, there is another thread just like this.

Thanks

yes, get the Pentax, forget about junk from Mamiya & Bronica. ;O

The Pentax should do nicely, from what I know of it, as should something from the Mamiya 645 series. Your need for a light meter rules out some otherwise good options, like the Mamiya C-series TLRs, and the need for interchangeable lenses rules out other TLRs, folders, and (AFAIK) all MF rangefinders. You could of course always add a separate light meter -- basic ones are very inexpensive used, although fancy ones can cost upwards of $100, which would eat seriously into your budget.
