Which medium format film camera to get?

[Narsuitus]

For me, the solution would be simple. I would search until I found a medium format body in good working condition that would accept my great Carl Zeiss Jena Flektogon, Biometar, and Sonnar lenses.

However my P6 is tired of life . Her shutter speeds are at least twice as long as they should be, the frame counter is dead and the dreaded film transport makes the frames overlap, if I don't use an ugly workaround. I don't want to deal with my P6 in this condition anymore.

I found an old Mamiya 645 in a shop somewhere here with a very reasonable price. It comes with a wide and normal lens.

My conundrum is the following: I consider it a sin to not use my Zeiss Jena glass, if using medium format. However I would believe that the Mamiya would be a reliable (if old) 6 x 4,5 camera?

The other option I see, is getting a tuned up Kiev 60 or 88. I found a website where they sell improved versions of both cameras. I've sent them a very long email, telling of my experience with the P6, asking them, whether the tuned up Kiev 60 would perform better and last a while. They haven't replied yet

I have about a month time before my next trip. It's going to Cambodia this time and I want to have high quality film pictures from there.

Any advice would be highly appreciated.
Sean.

I have KIEV 80 copy of Hasselblad with two film magazines and original leather bag, if you are interested let me know.

How about Pentax 67? Have look and feel of Pentacon only better. Glass is not bad at all. Did it for me I have no idea if somebody is making adapters for Jena glass, but worth to look around. Amazing quality of Pentax 67 is stability on low shutter speeds, 1/30 hand held w/o camera shake! You will gain bigger negative as well.
