Medium Format Cameras (rollei V Hasselblad)

An interesting read, thanks for sharing this. I think there are some interesting points made about TLR and SLR systems although I am not sure I agree with a number of the points he makes, but a good basic overview none the less.

Agree. I shoot with both and I think he's correct about the pros & cons. But evidently, he does not know about the mirror lock-up on the Hasselblad — which is why he's getting mirror shudder on his longer exposures. To be fair, I only just discovered it myself a few days ago!

Additionally, on some Hasselblad lenses (most?) the normal preview is wide open, so brightness is only a factor if you have one of the older viewscreens. There's a switch that allows you to preview the stopped-down image so you can judge DOF, but of course, it makes the preview dimmer at smaller apertures.
