The V system was used on the moon.
It was based on a captured German Reconnaissance camera;
But said to be a camera Victor Hasselblad could use for bird photography.
Me I don't find it all that slow.
I've shot them in any circumstance I've ever shot 35mm.
They're not all that slow either.
People try to narrowly pigeonhole the camera system;
It MUST always be used on a tripod.
It MUST NEVER be used on a tripod.

Leave the prism off it and its much lighter; fairly compact camera
Assuming you're using one of the smaller lenses.
