Already had a Kowa/Six, but saw a Polaroid back for the Kowa 66 on eBay and had to have it. Then I had to get a camera to use the back with....so grabbed a Kowa Super 66! Been looking for one nice/cool MF camera...don't really care for my Rolleiflex because it has issues with sensing the film roll so I've lost quite a few shots. The Kowa 66 is pretty nifty! Much the same as the Six but with exchangeable backs and a multi-exposure switch. Doesn't quite have the same vintage style as the Six but still decent enough. Has a super set of lenses available, as well! I have a couple 85mm lenses, which is the stock setup, and a 150mm. 55mm's are fairly common and watching a couple on eBay right now. Really want the 35mm! Saw one but it was super beat up...will keep looking!
Will blog about all this when I mess around with the 66 some more...some examples from my Kowa/Six w/85mm below.

Wow! Some great results there. The first two are pretty neat, with that obvious 6x6 hi-def look. I like the last one too. I need to check, but I suspect the building scenes are in Akasaka, near where I shot this myself last week or so... Neato!
