I really should be supporting this heavy and unwieldy gear with a tripod, but I’ve avoided tripods all my life (ahhh the undisciplined life of a candid photographer).
Not bad though. I see great potential with this set-up.

One more thing… for the Mamiya RZ67.

The trouble is, it is difficult to find a used example of this piece. And brand new, it sells for more than what I paid for my entire (used) Mamiya kit.
However, last week I found a mint copy of what I was looking for, at an exceptionally low price. I thought it was too good to be true, until it arrived this week.
