They are more expensive, but hardly difficult to hold. I feel the Hasselblad is the most comfortable camera to hold. You hold it under the center of gravity, as opposed to it being cantilevered (as a 35mm is) in you hand. You hold it and fire the shutter with your left, focus and wind with your right. Now, TLRs are awkward...you have to keep shifting hands, since the focus is on the opposite side as the wind...
