Yes, 1766 Euros is still a lot cheaper than an Alpa with a 38mm Biogon lens. And the Alpa + Biogon combo will only cover 44x66, not 6x9. Neither will a Mamiya 7 with its super expensive 43mm lens. There is still the good old Mamiya Universal with its 6x9 back. But if you add the price for a body in acceptable shape, a 6x9 back, a 6.3/50mm and a 65mm, both with finder, as well as 2 tele lenses, it will probably cost more than this GL690, for a camera which is a lot less usable IMHO.
