I have the 903 and am very happy with it. One can see the spirit level in the view finder. It has a CF lens.

I've been stalking your old posts, especially your comments on the Mamiya 7 43 vs swc. I was about to pick up the 43, then I stumbled upon your comments.

You and always PM me your questions. The only downside is that the rest are not seeing the conversation.

Thank you, The thing I'm extremely curious to know more about is how strong the perspective difference is between the 43 and 38.
If you have any pictures of the two shot side by side, or atleast a similar scene, I'd greatly appreciate it!
(The internet is silent on this as far I have searched)

The SWC is rectilinearly correct; the 40mm is not. There is more distortion in the 40mm compared to the SWC as the lens gets off axis.

The 40mm is a much heavier lens while I can maneuver the SWC better in tight quarters.

Do a website search, I recently posted an number of my SWC photographs recently.

Are considering the Hasselblad 40mm or Mamiya N 43 in your comments? My understanding is that Mamiya 43 has less distortion than the swc.
I'll look up your photos!
