I carry the Hasselblad and two lenses in a backpack with the SWC. Since the weight in on my back, well balanced, it is not a problem to backpack the camera. But I will also use the same toploading backpack with a Nikon AF for color with a 28mm to 200 AF zoom lens a Nikon AF for black & white...
I guess that I need to hold your hand as I walk through this with you. The OP raised the point that one option could cost him $3,000, wlth that kind of money the OP may want to check out buying a Hasselblad. Gee that was not too hard to follow was it? Please let go of my hand now.
I am happy that in the end you got what you wanted and saved money. You have shown the proof of concept that when the currency exchange is favorable and the the right product is available it is worth making the leap.

I have been essentially cashless for over two decades. If one does not carry cash, then they are not seen with cash and are less likely to be held up by robbers.
There will be a new photographic movement however we do not know what its name is, when it will start, when it will end or what its description will be. We must be patient.
