[Leica] do i need a hasselblad?

Kyle,

I don't think you need one. But until you try one you'll want one.  
Borrow one and try a roll or two. It is heavy and noisy but the  
photos are so nice. I was talking to a pro from NY a year ago who was  
telling me he has a client that will only take medium format. I don't  
know who the client was but he wanted film. He had to buy a Hassy  
even though he had a top Canon digital outfit.  He did it for one  
client.
