The Bronica is small though bigger than a M6 of course, but not as bulky as the Hasselblad. Sure, I'd love a H1 645, but the price is not in my range. The Bronica as a very bright viewfinder, framelines are vertical, and there is a Program(P) mode, and a Aperture(A) mode along with B-500th sec. Flash synchs with all speeds. My Leica SF-20 flash will work in A mode on the Bronica. The Bronica also will take 120/220. Now I'm waiting for the new Epson 3200 scanner to come for my MF work.
