Thank you.
Well, I finally made a decision (not that anybody cares
).
As I mentioned, this is will be used for business, to photograph people (portraits, engagements....). All of these factors came into play.
I really liked the 503CW but it wasn't suitable for the type of photography that I do (on location, handheld; sometimes you need to capture a moment that happens in front of you).
That left me with either Mamiya 645 or the Hasselblad H system (I was looking for something to use with both film and digital backs).
Today I spent some time handling both the 645DF and the H2 at Calumet. H2 feels more balanced compared to DF and the viewfinder is bigger and brighter. What I didn't like about the H2 is that most of the settings are done via menu. I really liked that the DF has knobs (this is a personal preference).
Also, since this will be used with paying customers, I need to have a back up in place (you can't just say "sorry, it stopped working and I'll call you when it's fixed"). An H2 sells for about $3k (and H2F is more expensive). That puts me right there at about $6k in bodies.
So, for starters, I will get the AFD II (already ordered from Capture Integration folks; Dave Gallagher was very prompt in answering my questions), 80mm 2.8 and the 150mm 3.5
Down the road I will upgrade the lenses to the 150mm D one and when I'm ready, a digital back.
I want to say thank you again to all the people that shared their opinion in this thread. It really helped me make my decision.
For now, I'll post samples in the analog threads
... but [arnold schwarzenegger voice] I'll be back [/arnold schwarzenegger voice]... with digital ones.
