Sad huh! B. Well, in favor of the Rollei, 1. Quiet or quieter than an M6, 2. Fits in the same pocket of your Domke bag as a Leica with a 35 mm Summicron. 3. Doesn't have interchangeable lenses, so forces your attention to the picture. 4. Lighter by a half than the Hasselblad. 5.At the current price of Rolleicords, there's little reason to refrain. I am mostly a color shooter,so if I use the Rollei, I have to send it out and wait to see the stuff, but I always felt more pleasure with shooting the Rollei than the Hasselblad.
