I have the C330 with the 55mm, and it is a very sharp lens with lovely tonality. The C220 is lighter and more basic, but perfectly capable. The 65mm is said to be even better, but I have not tried it. Very rugged cameras. I'm not a big fan of the ergonomics of the C-series, but some people think they're great...I just put up with it because the results are so good and the camera is so damned tough and versatile.
Prices on these are reasonable -- about the same as Bronica SQ in these parts.
Edit: a question comes to mind -- what is it about the Distagon that you don't like? It would help to know so that I might comment on whether Mamiya TLR wides may be more suitable.
