Seeing that I can get a SL66 with a 80mm ZEISS lens for $600, or a 501C with again the ZEISS 80 for $999, it seems like I'd be losing money if I don't buy them :-) My requirements: nice portrait lens (e.g. nice bokeh), not too heavy, good ergonomic, a meter a plus. Handheldable, although I won't be lugging it around to hiking much - that's a job for the Mamiya. Any recommendation? I know there are digital backs for even the Hassy 501C, or the Mamiya 645, so there are some growth possibility later, but it's not primary importance. -- // richard m: richard @imagecraft.com // w: http://www.imagecraft.com/pub/Portfolio09/ blog: http://rfman.wordpress.com // book: http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/745963
