    medium format rangefinder with built-in light meter? 6x7 or 6x9 negative?

    I am very interested in upping my game with a medium format camera. The perfect camera would be a rangefinder (less massive) which creates a 6x7 or 6x9 negative and has a built-in light meter (still don't trust myself enough with an external one).
    Does such a thing exist?. I know the Mamiya 6 is almost it but I really am not a fan of the square format.

    Thanks!

    Why are you afraid of an external meter? This would open MANY wonderful camera choices for you. BTW, I MUCH prefer 6x9.

    That doesn't seem to be either 6X7 or 6X9 and the Bronica is 6X4.5

    The two choices are Mamiya 7/7ll or the Bessa lll unless you're willing to consider older Fuji's.

    Thanks everybody! i will look into all of these.

    I would definitely consider an older fuji. I'm no millionaire, so old/used is the way to go.
