Problem is, you don't know what you are talking about. You don't need a meter prism for any of the 20x series Hasselblads to get a meter. The Rollei does not come with a prism, so adding a prism to the Hasselblad does not make them the same. Even with the prism and winder, the Hasselblad is quite a bit smaller. Before you open your mouth again (or flap away with your fingers) provide the weight and volume measurements of an EQUAL, not an Arthur trying to make a point he will never be able to make unless he fudges the numbers, system). The Rollei is awkward to focus, the Hasselblad is very easy with the wide band that isn't stuffed against the body. The Rollei is awkward to change shutter speeds, where the Hasselblad has a coupled shutter speed/aperture ring, far far easier to use. You must just be saying things to see your self say them, believing the more you say them, the more true they must be...well, reality doesn't work that way. > Wrong again, Austin: When you add a meter prisim and motor drive to the > Hassie, which gets you to Rollei capability, it is MUCH bigger and more > awkward to use than the 6008i. And it won't work nera as well. Arthur
