I am with Dawid, I like the RZ (RB in his case) better than the Hassy's for the
reasons he mentioned. The screaming deals available on the RZ (and even moreso
RB) gear don't hurt either. Plus if you really feel the need to go digital,
basically every medium-format digital back ever made can be adapted to an RZ.
And I'd hardly call any Hassy better ergonomically - they are just as chunky
and non-ergonomic. They do have some sweet lenses, no question. Those are the
real strength of that system.
Generally I prefer the Mamiya 7 (the optics of which beat up on basically all
the Hassy lenses), but sometimes that's not really feasible - mainly for
close-ups, portraits and the like. That's when I reach for the RZ.
Sadly my OM gear has been pretty neglected lately in favor of the MF cameras.
