How big is large?  

For 35mm work, you can do a lot worse than a Rolleiflex SL35 E.  They cost
little on the used markets, they have magnificent lenses, and an M42
adapter is readily available which will open up huge vistas for you.  The
Leicaflex cameras in their first three iterations are quite nice as well
and have fine lenses, but for a mix of price and quality I'd go for the SL
35 E.

I have been down the Leicaflex road and got rid of all my stuff some years
back, but I did keep my SL 35 E.  It is a grand camera and capable of grand
results.  And that 1.4/50 Planar lens is hard to beat.
