I prefer the Mamiya 7 to my Hasselblad, in factI don't think I have used my 'blad since I bought the M7, should sell it I suppose. Biggest gain is in low vibration. I can't hold the 'blad still slower than 1/125 the M7 is OK at 1/30!. Its just like the Leica to use and quieter. FWIW (not much perhaps) the M7 lenses show better MTF than the Hassy Zeiss ones. I have 43, 80 and 150 and each measures better than the 40, 80 and 150 zeiss (partic the 150) see photodo site if interested. The bokeh is supposedly inferior but I never use MF wide open so its no prob for me. cheers Frank
