Ray,
Thanks for your thoughts and input. I understand your two-system approach for your needs. That is partly why I am still a bit on the fence. I see the advantages of both focal plan and leaf shutters.
The idea of Hasselblad introducing a focal plane body that would accept all the present H3D stuff would be outstanding, as that could complete a system to meet most needs. The Phase/Mamiya offerings are also very good, but they (Mamiya?) have still not put out those leaf shutter lenses that have been promised for some time, so essentially, it is still a focal plane system, and why your needs are for both right now.
I am just looking a bit forward and wondering/wishing aloud for somebody (ies) in this mix to come up with a complete, fully integrated, collection of things to build a versatile, compact, interchangeable kit. Hasssleblad is looking very good, but all on the leaf shutter platform right now. Phase/Mamiya is looking good for both, but they have yet to put out the lenses, and there still may be some integration issues at that point. Really do not know how that is going to work.
At this point, I think your "solution" is an excellent way to go. I would rather do it all without having to support two very different systems, but just cannot do so yet. Your comments about the H3D versus AFDII ergonomics and use are appreciated. I feel much the same way. The Hassy, though heavier, just seems to fit me better in my limited playing, and I just could not get comfortable with the Mamiya. The Hy6 is also very nice, and I do like many of its offerings, but the Hassy still seems to work better for me. All of that could change, and may. So, I keep cheering Hasselblad on, as I like what that have offered, and are doing, but still keep hoping for them to integrate a focal plane body that could be used as part of their H3D system. That would seal the deal in my thinking.
