A very good alternative to more expensive metered Hasselblads. Film is kept extremely flat. I can see a noticeable sharpness improvement from the Hasselblad 500CM with similar lenses. The handling is straightforward and intuitive to the point I'm selling my hassie. After a year of ownership I'm quite delighted with the camera. Pity the princely price of lenses.

Body and accessories are reasonably priced but ...
Lenses are very pricey (even in Europe) compared with Bronica and Pentax 67 offering similar quality

A great camera if you can find second-hand lenses.
