My father used a Mamiya C330 in his yonger days for weddings and 
portraits. He found it to be reliable and was sad to let it go. The 
wides don't go that wide, it weights quite a lot and it does not have 
interchangable backs. I also read in a amater photographer magazine a 
while ago that the lenses tend to have inaccurate long shutter speeds 
(design fault/limited technology).
