- Hasselblad 503, V, ELX ... - now that are more types than I was aware of! I have to admit I am not truly aware of the differences. While I still think it will cost more than necessary - still - would you be so kind to say a few words about the differences among the? Please do not hesitate to put in a link to an information source if you know one. I would gladly have a look.
- just for me to get an idea, could you mention (if possible) an approximate weight of a one lens read-to-shoot setup (with WLF or prism F) of the system you have or propose? It would help me to compare to my Rolleiflex T (cca 1 kg).
I think a Hasselblad (500C/M or newer, 500C is just too old) is the best choice here, no parallax error like the TLRs, relatively light, but most importantly the ownership experience will be much easier. Parts are everywhere, which is something that is no longer true for any of the Bronicas, the Lens selection is very large and very good, and it is lighter than the Rolleiflex SLRs, at least lighter than the 6008. And, I hate to say this, but it is one of the most future proof MF cameras you can buy, as Hasselblad seems to be doing financially OK, and they show no signs of discontinuing the V series or any of its accessories. And, if you happen to work both film and the format for which we shan't speak its name, most of the 'Blads will be able to take a d****** back, if you happen to need one or can afford one in the future. In this respect, they are much more compatible than the Bronicas and Rolleis, to say nothing of the humongoid Mamiyas.
Note to those with logic - Anything I say regarding flash work and digital migration should be disqualified as I primarily use a Pentax 67, which has an abysmal flash sync and NO possibility of mounting anything digital.
