That's good to know. I figured that may be the case but I've always wondered. I still may pick up a TLR anyway since most of them are fairly affordable and I can always re-sell down the line. Probably just my GAS kicking in though lol.
I had a Mamiya C330 and it was a real beast compared to a Rolleiflex with the 3.5 Tessar. Also have a Hasselblad kit consisting of a 500C/M, several lenses, and an SWC/M. The Hasselblad gets used the most, but the Rollei (with its limitations) works well as a simple lightweight compact carry around camera.
That's another good point, it may be nice to have a simpler, slightly more compact TLR for days when I don't want to think about lugging around extra gear or worry if I grabbed the right lenses for the situation with the Hasselblad. Lots to ponder...
Put all the Hasselblad lenses in the car and just take out the ones you want to use for that the location.

I did an inventory of all the cameras I have or will have available to me soon. I counted 23 cameras in total, which includes 5 digital cameras. My favorite format is the middle of the road format- medium format that uses 120 film.
The medium format cameras I have are:
Holga 120
Yashica A
Fuji GW690
Fuji GSW690
Pentax 645N
Pentax 67II
Franka 6x9 Folder
Zeiss Ikon Nettar 517/2 6x9 Folder
and my recent purchase of a Mamiya RZ67 Pro.
My two favorites out of this list are both of the Pentax units, with the Fuji GW690 a third. Reason the Fuji is third is because the lens is fixed focal length, and it doesn't have a light meter of some sort. Other then that its a great camera.
What are you guys using and which is your favorite?
I bought it used in Italy.
I get the feeling that is not the same as "I bought it cheap in Italy."
