A Rollei TLR near a M? Come on. My biggest complaint with the Rollei TLR is it is so damn awkward to use. There is no way you can focus, shoot and wind without swapping hands twice. I agree the Rollei 600x is more a studio camera, but the Hasselblad is no where near the size of the Rollei 600x and is probably about the same size as the TLR...and MUCH easier and faster to use. I do a LOT of existing light with my Hasselblads...and the F series have, for the most part, the fastest lenses available... I do agree completely, that it depends on what you are trying to do...and MF does have a LOT of variants...Rangefinders, SLRs, TLRs....folding rangefinders... What are you trying to do?
