Janet,(posted 8227 days ago)I just happened to see your post. If you wish to get the most possible out of your $500 and get into medium format too, you may wish to consider a new Kiev 19M, (Nikon AI Mount manual), and a Kiev 60 6x6. Together they will cost you less than $500 brand new. You will have enough left over to buy a second lens for the K60. I got fed up with Hasselblad pricing about 6 months ago and bought both a Kiev 60 and a Kiev 88cm to augment my 'blad setup. I have been so happy with them the swede is now relagated to the back of the closet.
