Which 645

[NNN636462764243419321]

Want to get into MF. The ones that look good to me are the Mamiya/PO 645DF+ and the Mamiya 645AFDIII. Which is the newest? Best for digital? The best used back that comes with a fair price. If you have another one in mind, I would appreciate your ideas. Thank you
