I used a mamiya press for a while. The 65mm is no the best lens around. The 50mm however is very good.There are also 6x9 backs available. I think this camera gives good quality for the money.

Both good choices for 6 x 9. I think the Press may be available with a lens wider than 65mm but, I don't think Mamiya backs were larger than 6 x 7. They were available with a back that accepted Graflok backs but they seem to be scarce. The Medalist has a fixed lens and wouldn't meet the wide angle criteria.
