While I still use my OM equipment, I have found myself enjoying the larger negative, and the square format that my Rolleiflex gives me. The only problem I am having is being limited to the 80mm lens. On my way home from labor day weekend, I stopped, hiked down into a canyon, and was shooting photos of kids jumping into a small river... Backlit, slow moving water... Beautiful, but I only had one view point, and it wasn't ideal...

So, I'd love to have a Hassleblad, but the cost of a semi-wide (50mm), or telephoto (150mm)lens aren't realistic. I've been looking at the Rollei SL-66, and well, I'm looking for any other ideas anyone on the list may have.

What I would like, would be a light, 6x6 body, 50mm, 80mm and 150mm or so..... At a somewhat affordable price...

Any ideas would be appreciated.

James.
