Shel, the two things I love about the 501 are the 6x6 format and
interchangeable backs. The idea of interchangeable back 6x6 camera is so
appealing to me I'm thinking about taking a gamble shelling out the cash for
a Kiev 88 which is basically a Hassleblad 1000 clone. The 67 is a great

Shel,
They're all good systems. Excellent lenses all around. (Mamiya probably having the
best lenses, even above the Blad, imnsho.)
I'd approach it like anything else in business -- get the right tool for the job.
If the project is hand-held, the Pentax Mamiya 7 systems would be preferable.
Well I can imagine why you feel this way, but at the same time...

past four years. If your

Kent, how has the Kiev 60 worked out for you I'm thinking about getting an
88 but may get the more dependable and cheaper 60 and extra lenses.

All those choices have some merit. Still
With that list of cameras I think you have not refined your needs to the
point where you can make a decision. For instance, you either need a SLR,
or you don't. You either need interchangeable lenses, or you don't. You
either need light weight or you don't.
If you had asked opinions between a

I ~like~ all of those cameras, and all will do the job to one degree or
another. I essentially discounted a couple-three of the cameras and
indicated that probably the Pentax 67 or the 'blad would be the best
choices for my needs. Read my post again where I outlined my thinking
and why

Hi Paul ... comments interspersed
I've shot with TLR cameras for many yearss,
both Rollei and Mamiya. The big downside of a
TLR is the faulty parallax: What you see ain't
what you get. This becomes particularly
problematic for portraits or anything tighter.

Macro is of no concern, and I'd think that parallax errors would be an

Without any MF experience, only looking, reading, and thinking... go with
your gut.
The 6x7 is bigger than a 6x6 frame, allows you to crop to a 6x6 if you want,
and you have TONS of anecdotal evidence on lens quality. Well, no doubt
similar claims are made on the Hass.
