However the same works in reverse- there are lots of things that you can't do well on a rangefinder that work well on an slr. Third, as you point out there are some things a slr medium format system isn't too good at - and some of those things are done better by rangefinders.

I felt guilty about it until the seller told me that Jessops had offered him ВЈ105! So compared with the quality of photographs you can make with it, selling your Bronica is going to get you nothing. I've just bought on eBay a virtually unused, not a mark on it, SQ-B complete for ВЈ275 as back-up. Second you won't get anything meaningful for your Bronica gear. Frankly if I'd thought there was a noticeable quality advantage I'd have changed in a heartbeat because I'm not in the slightest attached to cameras. Frankly I couldn't see much difference and despite going uphill and down dale on this issue on, I've still got the Bronicas. A few years ago Hasselblad sought to persuade me to switch and loaned me a new 501CM and three lenses which I used alongside the Bronica for a little while. Here's whyДЇirst I don't think you'll see much if any difference in your photography by switching to Hasselblad- or any other medium format slr system. Well I use a Bronica SQ-Ai too so it might not surprise you that I'd suggest keeping it too. Did you ever get a chance to try another lens on your camera with B+W pan film, MLU on a good tripod ? There are a multitude of other cameras out there too, like your camera. Maybe a Kowa, just because they are so cheap. Of those I think the Pentax 67II, Pentax 645ni fit the bill. Something you can put on a tripod (plus mlu for a SLR) or handhold at a higher shutter speed, and actually see what you are framing. For now I have settled on the ZI, but I sure wish it was a 690 format.ДЄdd to that a versitile MF slr or maybe a tlr like the mamiya c3 pro. Actually the ZI is pretty cheap for what it is. One lightish RF like a Mamiya 6, Mamiya 7, Fuji GSW/GW690 or a GA645zi (if you want auto everything) for light travel, hiking and a grab and go camera, for landscapes etc. On the MF side, I really feel that you need 2 MF camera systems. I too have similar questions about MF, and actually I am so deep into LF that I rarely even want to pick up a MF camera. This is from my short experience with a few good cameras, but no TLR's. Reading my post here it looks like an age old topic that have most likely been discussed here before - hopefully from different angles -) They should be also my main camera for travel. My main photographic interest with them is landscape, urban scenes, and portraits. RangefinderД«oth have limited or no option for lens replacement (to tele and WA) and a parallax problem. I have started to think about two directions:ДЎ TLR cameras like the Rolleiflex 2. Dependability: I still use MF to much larger extend than LF Cost: Hate to admit but its still a major issueДҐ. control: its the ability to better control composition, perspective, and exposure that got me to MF at the first place - don't want to loos itД¤. Portability: Fuji 645 can be hand held but there are other, more interesting tooДЈ. sharpness: Hassi for instance does it better but there are otherДў. There are two issues that comes to mind perhaps more:ДЎ. Starting to enjoy LF I feels drawn to rethink my MF gear (Bronica SQAi with 50,80 and 150mm lenses).
