The square format (esp with a TLR) is a great way to get in to MF.
Old Seagulls (the Chinese ones) or Mamiyas are great. Also you get
those big focusing screens and waist level viewfinders. The old
Seagulls are very cheap, although not the most reliable. Old Mamiyas
are great, plus they focus very close.
