Like Leica, it's vast and, like Leica (SLRs), there are certain models that you may want to avoid, depending upon your budget or interests. Some *starting* points: http://medfmt.8k.com/mf/ghassy.html http://medfmt.8k.com/mf/budgetblad.html http://medfmt.8k.com/mf/hassybuy.html http://medfmt.8k.com/mf/hassylens.html http://medfmt.8k.com/mf/hassy2k.html#parts http://medfmt.8k.com/mf/cameras.html (Scroll down to "Hasselblad") http://www.photo.net/hasselblad/ One point worth remembering: while the 500 series cameras (and lenses) have undergone many "tweaks" over the years, people made stunning photographs even with the early stuff. Much like with Leica, in fact. Good luck, M. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
