But let us all keep in mind the huge amount of used Blad stuff out there for a fraction of the new cost. My main Hasselblad 500C/M body I got used five years ago for $500. (thats a lot of 5's) Used Hasselblad is a lot cheaper than new Mamiya crud. I don't care who uses it. What are the options in 6 by 7? I'm sure if Hasselblad made a 6 by 7 Anne and Herb would use it. They're not fools. We need to keep in mind that 6 by 7 looks a whole lot bigger on the light table than 6 by 6. It defies logic and numbers. It's the format that is wanted not the brand. Mark Rabiner
