However, large format may simply be too much to handle in these

ot learn about medium format, and may end up sticking with medium
format, since the learning curve for that wouldn't be quite so steep.
Possibly, I may go for a used 645. We'll see. Certainly, the
discussion I've prompted here has been enlightening.

While I think large format is the best possible format, given
your criteria I would use something like the Mamiya 7 or the Pentax
67.
