[Leica] do i need a hasselblad?

[photo.forrest at earthlink.net (Philip Forrest)]

You want a Bronica.  Inexpensive system.  Get the square one & have fun.  
cheap lenses that are awesome, bodies are lighter than Hassy, they have 
instant return mirrors and things like built in light meters.  There's 
really 
no other way that you can do a medium format system with lenses from 45mm to 
300mm for so little money.  Yeah, it's not Hassy, but your D200 isn't a 
Leica, moreover, people don't care what you took the image with as much as 
you created the image.
I love my Bronica.  but you know that already.
