you may like to consider a Minolta Autocord TLR. In terms of used prices it's a/few notch/es below rolleicord / flexes but the optics is just as superlative. i may consider letting mine go as it's been underutilised.Hi SzennyBoy,
You're right about the CW Winder. I hesitated very very long before splurging for a 2nd hand unit... it's ridiculously expensive for a simple motorized winder! But once it's mounted, you can use the 503 like a 35mm manual camera. In fact, I used it for a fashion shoot before, and the past couple of years had been pretty torturous without it! Buy it and you'd only remember the joy, and forget the price after 2 weeks!

THankyou for all your suggestions.
However, I can't got to the shops that you have suggested. It is due to I'm Living in Hong Kong!
Hass. Cameras and its lens are the most expensive camera in Hong Kong, therefore I want to have a Rollei TLR (It is much cheaper and more second-hand goods).
On the otherhand, I have got a Bronica camera which it model ETRS and I think it is not a very good camera. SO I don't want to have another Bronica camera.
Can anyone give me some suggestions on Rollei TLR model?
PS. I used to take landscape photos with B&W films.

A little read up on Rollei TLRs to get you started.

Yah man.. I used to have a Bronica SQB 6x6 and it was good overall but bringing it on a tour trip is a killer! The the big was so huge you'd be lazy to put in and take out of your camera bag. So you'll hide it under your jacket or something to avoid unwanted "attention"... and then when you whip it out to take a shot, its SO HUGE all eyes start to turn on you and you look back at them with the "kua si mi?" expression... its an experience.. try it!! :bsmilie:
