Edward,
I must strongly disagree with you in part. While the Mamiya 7 is a delight
(although I prefer the 6), the RB/RZ can't stand up in a comparison with a
500CM. I own a fair sized Hasselblad outfit, and used an RB67 supplied by an
employer. The RB/RZ is much much bigger and heavier. It is really beyond
reality to think of hand holding one, and please don't give me that business
that all these cameras need to be on a tripod, that's just not the case.
Yes, I do know that they fixed a lot of the RB's faults with the RZ, but
they should have gone back to the drawing board with clean paper.
Bill

While there's a certain classic appeal to a hassy, the 4x5 would be the
better choice and lower cost of ownership in the long run. If you want
medium format, go with something from Mamiya. They better hassy in
basically every way. (RZ67 or Mamiya 7)
