Well, and with a Hassy you can get a little doo-dad that will allow you to
take rectangular pictures as well as square. That way you have your
vertical, horizontal, or neutral, frame. :)

Of course, you still have to haul the Hassy around, which is great for the
biceps. I use mine for a doing curls at the desktop.

It does look nice!

If I get a medium format camera, I believe I want a Hassie.  Then, I don't
have to worry about this horizontal and vertical nonsense!  :)

I've been tempted several times to jump to MF.  But if I'm going to do that,
I might as well go to 4x5 so I can make contact prints with a lightbulb
suspended from a string.  That sounds like fun.  :)
