I use a Rollei SL66 with superb Zeiss 50, 80 and 150mm lenses.  The Rollei's
like an old Hasselblad 500 series on steroids...big, heavy, solid, all
mechanical with 2 things the Hassie hasn't:  instant return mirror and
built-in extension bellows.  I have more affection for my Leica M3...and my
Olympus OM-1n for that matter...but the SL66 is certainly the finest camera
I've ever owned.
