I am sure that you have asked this before Albert, but I use a Bronica RF645 with 3 lenses (45, 65 and 135). It has a built-in meter, automatic screen for lens changing, leaf shutters in the lenses and it is pretty portable.

it was a ludicrous price when the model came out in 1999 or 2000 (in the UK at least), but that has subsided now. The dedicated flash, the RF20, is a sweet and well-controlled little thing. The lenses are very sharp.

I am the "Uber minimalist" That's why I own an OM! That's why I want an MF RF! The Pentax 67, has a mirrorslap that sounds like a man beating his stepchild. It's so big, thieves don't think about stealing it because they wouldn't be able to run with it!

For MF's, the advantages of SLR's is interchangable backs, and so digital is not a problem. But the RF's are MUCH better as far as street travel use IMHO.

Aside from Mamiya and what was once Fuji, any other RF makers for the MF market or no?
