Thanks, Chris. I had a Hassy, once upon a time. Back in the late '70s it was.
Used it to take pictures of horses, which I hoped to make money at, but
journalism got in the way. Would up selling it.
Had a C330 and a couple of lenses for a while. It was just too bulky. But I
really liked it and got some nice shots.
The Mamiya rangefinder MF system was in my sights when I finally took the
digital plunge and spent all my money on Olympus E-1 stuff. If I went back to
film now, I think the Mamiya RF system would be what I'd go for, but I don't
see it happening.
