Your advice to try what I like is useful though but it's hard to get your hands on medium format bodies, at least around here.

MF is used as an abbreviation for manual focus as well as medium format. As far as the latter in regards to Pentax, that is very simple in that there are about only 4 choices. I know what you mean about it being hard to get your hands on medium format bodies. The area I'm in it is difficult to find 35mm bodies. I would guess that you would prefer the "feel" of the 6x7 over the 645 by just looking at some of your current gear.

Edit: The MZ-5n is AF . . . auto focus.
