Investing in medium format. I'm hoping to go to school for photography, but the school requires me to have a medium format SLR. I have a feeling that my Holga isn't what they have in mind. What should I look for in my first medium format SLR?

Camera choice is highly dependent on what kind of photography you plan to do. For school work you probably need something as generic as possible. I shoot 6x7 but you may not want to hassle with a big beast like that. Good basic MF's can be found in TLR's from Mamiya or Roleii. If you want to go really cheap you can get a TLR from Seagull. In SLR's Hassy's are going to be expensive and Mamiyas bulky. Bronicas can be found relatively inexpensive. There is a book on the market called Blooms Camera Blue Book (or something like that). It is very helpful since it lays out all of the possible used cameras you may find with a description of each camera and a list of what they are worth for different ages and conditions. Check it out.

Cost will run you from $250 to $329. Take great pictures and easy to use.
