Re: New to the Strasse with questions on a Mamiya..

This camera can take great pictures. I've used it ... oh... 30 years ago.
It's a medium format camera so getting film may be an issue unless you have a professional photography shop nearby.
I would recommend getting it cleaned and serviced. If you don't use it, then there may likely be a collector out there who might want it.
Also, these cameras are pretty mechanically robust and sound (and heavy). I've seen people drop them (and if the lens isn't broken) and pick them up and just keep using them.
