FLEX-body?!!! > > Probably not the SWC, the Mamiya 7II 43mm Biogon-clone is supposed to > be better than the SWC, if you trust Ken Rockwell (....) CM over the C for sure you can put a bright screen in and that makes a huge difference. Feel free to email me on further info as all this OT might rub some people the wrong way. Their is s HUG Hassy list but its really getting few and far between. The SWC what I as an old timer would call an Hasselblad Superwide takes regular Hassy backs but otherwise is a life support system for the 38 Biogon. A true wide angle lens. Total non distortion. But you can't call it a medium format Leica as the camera goes off with a loud clack. These cameras have retained their value amazingly at least the last time I looked the Superwide. I have an ELM (you don't really want) and a 503 CM Its a buyers market like no other camera system. Thousands of dollars have turned into hundreds. Get the Hasselblad System Compendium : Richard Nordin (Hardcover, 2003) its all there. Every odd back, finder, do dad. Mark William Rabiner
