Having used a Bronica for a few years, back in the late sixties-early
seventies, I got used to seeing outside of the rectangular box. Square
can be really wonderful, but, as noted in another thread, it does
require some care to make an outstanding photograph.
The mamiya C330 caught my attention

Hi,
Michael Freeman's book "The Medium-Format Manual" is quite useful but
perhaps a bit out-of-date these days (it predates the Mamiya 6 (modern
version) and Mamiya 7s). I found it useful a couple of years ago when I
was thinking of medium format. I never got beyond buying the book. However,

I've happily used the Mamiya 7 and four of the six available lenses for the
past four years. If your projec

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.
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
