The reputation of Hasselblad has prompted many a photographer-professional and amateur alike-to invest in what is arguably the ultimate medium format system. During my 15 year carrer in professional photography, I have used/owned three market-leading medium format camera models; Bronica (S2A:-yes S2A!) Mamiya(RB67) and an old Hasselblad 500. Of the three, I found the Hasselblad the most comfortable to use.It scores over the Bronica in terms of build quality and compared to the Mamiya it is a great deal easier to handle. In the field of freelance work, I needed a robust camera that would deliver high quality results with the minimum of maintainence, so the Hasselblad 501 was the obvious choice.
