I'm heading down to St. Louis in a couple weeks to check out a bunch of MF
cameras and a 'Blad does make sense. I've used them a bit and always liked
them. Unfortunately, this year's MF budget may not allow for it. I do
desire a camera that won't wake the dead, so that might rule out a couple
makes. BUT, in a head-to-head comparison I'll know for sure. I absolutely
love the square format, too.
