Well, I have the Mamiya 6 and its lenses, which I like a lot,
especially since it's so compact, but (most) Hasselblads are SLR's,
and an SLR does what an SLR does, so it got replaced by a Mamiya 645.
I still use the SWC with the Mamiya 6. They go well together, and the
whole outfit goes into a very compact bag. The 7 is unfortunately a
lot bigger, and it also needs an accessory finder for the 50. I also
don't find the focal length choices as good. Haven't used the Mamiyas
in over a year though; should probably sell the stuff since I won't
likely use it again.
