There is that.  I keep going back to maybe gettnig a 'blad, well...just
because.  But that's definitely getting out of the realm of hand-holding.

I stumbled onto this site:

http://www.certo6.com/

I'm really tempted to get a restored folder.  Sure, I'd have to stop down to
f8 or so, and that means it's only hand holdable in decent light...  But
it's just so tempting.

I might just keep saving my MF funds until I can get a Rollei.  Might as
well go for the best, eh?  I was hoping a Bronica RF or Mamiya 6 or 7 would
be hand holdable in low light.  Just a big Leica cousin.  But I'm hearing
differently.  If I'm going to be stuck on a tripod, might as well start
getting some mirror slap to make things interesting.  :)
