Good move, but I would keep the 'blad. I have been told by a trusted 
repairman that if certain things go bad, it's a brick as there are no parts, 
either OEM or aftermarket. There are aftermarket parts, like the mainsprings 
for hasselblad lenses that are now available aftermarket.

Subject: [Leica] Bought a Mamiya 6!

Saturday afternoon, I drive down to Muncie, Indiana, and bought a used
Mamiya 6MF with 75mm lens from Jack's Camera. I've wanted one of these since
I was a teenager, and finally had the money to get one. The lens is
INCREDIBLY sharp, better than the 80mm CF-Planar on my Hasselblad, and I can
handhold this camera. I'm actually thinking of selling my Hassy kit and
buying the other two Mamiya 6 lenses.

Here's my first photo from it.
