I know I said that I decided on the Bronica SQ-Ai a few days ago, but upon further research, and finding it difficult to find parts for the SQ series, I've been thinking about purchasing a MF body from one of the "bigger" companies.
Since 6x6 is the format I want to be shooting in, Hasselblad seems like a good choice (the Mamiya 6 seems great, but for some reason, I REALLY want a WLF). I've read the thread about Hasselblads a few threads (maybe a page back now) and it was a great read. I just wanted to ask a few more questions. Here's my criteria:
- Looking for something very basic. Doesn't have to have a meter or "speed grip".
- Really want to shoot in 6x6 format and with a WLF.
- Cheaper the better!
- Hasselblad glass seems very expensive (even used). Are there any other third-party lens options? Image quality is always important, but I'm not TOO picky. As long as the images are sharp for the most part. Doesn't have to be the BEST per se.
- I don't plan on using a flash. I will be using the camera mainly for landscape and occasional portraits.
- Ability to change film backs would be nice (especially with different film speeds)
I know I seem picky, but I just want to do my homework before spending some cash! Thanks again guys!
