I'm looking at purchasing my first MF camera. One of my considerations will be how manageable it will be to take the camera, a tripod and a couple of lenses on a full day hike. I'm wanting to cover some very hilly countryside and an average return trip of 12 Km (7.5 Mls). To answer my own question, I am thinking Hasselblad but I would be interested to know what other hiker/photographers are using. I would like to be considering the RB67 because it ticks so many other boxes for me, but I'm quessing it might be too big and bulky. I use a nice Lowepro camera backpack but wouldn't be able to fit much else into it if I went with the RB67 ... Any ideas? ... Opinions?

You could do worse for more money.
I'm sensing you don't like the results of this camera since your evaluation was made in the negative sense, but maybe that's colloquial.... Anyway, am I sensing correctly or incorrectly? My reason for asking is because all the verbiage I've found as to reviews says that the fixed lens versions of the Fuji 645 cameras are very sharp. And I've been looking for a good buy on one of these for some time and just now found one and thinking of buying.
My verbal shorthand gets me in trouble sometimes.....
All clear now?
