The mamiya 6 is a great 6x6 rangefinder. If you want both of those characteristics, you won't do better.

quick tech specs for nerds:

sharpness examples shot on a tripod.
all shots on the 50/4 @ 5.6-11,
1/125 or faster, typically 1/250 or faster

all photos developed by photolab in berkeley, ca
b&w developed in xtol

scanned w/ fuji gfx 100 + 120/4 GF
(film mounted in negative.supply setup)
at f/11 (film flatness is hard!)
(single image, not stitched,
effective resolution 80+ MP,
effective DPI 3000+)

color edited in NLP to taste.
all scans are edited.
there's no such thing as a neutral scan,
and this isn't a scientific review.
