I'm kind of in the 18 percent grey area and have a second body to shoot
the other body with.
Another good reason for a backup.
God forbid i use a Hasselblad to shoot a Leica.

Speaking of that i find it interesting that in the LHSA Viewfinder
magazine this is exactly the situation
ALL shots OF Leicas and their gizmos are done BY Leicas is my
understanding of how it works over there.
The big product shots on the cover are not large format as one would
perhaps think would be an obvious approach.
But it is a Leica magazine. And Leica IS a 35mm deal to put it mildly.
(Despite that one enlarger)

I think they stick to that. And i think that's completely cool.

I'd be tempted to use a Hasselblad and shoot a Polaroid if i was doing
lots of those shots for them then but if they want Leica I've got no
problem with that. (as if they're asking)

But I'd shoot the Polaroid with the Hasselblad. Use my Viso with my 75mm
f4 Apo Rodagon D to get those little gizmos. Fun!
I'm all for it!
