That being said - I have shot both digital and film on the 500 and H series - if you really ever want to do digital stick with the H series - trust me on this. If you only want to do film the 500 is a better choice - and as you have seen - downright dirt cheap.

just out of curiosity though, why do you recommend sticking with the H for digi(where I need to go eventually for commercial work after school, where clients don't want film)? Are the lenses THAT much better on the H series cameras vs the best(CFi/CFE) glass that Hasselblad offers? I borrowed a friends' 503cw, with the 80mm CFe on it, and shot some comparisons between the two, both(at least to me, same subject matter, same time, same lighting, same film[from same pack]) looked pretty much identical, with the H roll showing a bit more contrast... both scanned the EXACT same.
I know that MF(LF) Rodenstock and Schneider is the best of the lot, but is the H series glass all that much better for M/F slr's, or just because its newer designs than the V-series glass?
thanks everyone for your replies, please keep em' coming!
blessings,
Dan
