Robert, few cameras can come close to a 'blad, I'm sad you sold yours, but since they where made so well there will always be some going around if you feel like owning one again. I am myself in the market for something smaller right now...
Justin, I am glad to see you finally got to that razor after our talk today. I knew it would serve its purpose well, the steel was excellent.

By my mind-
each camera is as good as the man/woman behind the ocular.
The Hasselblad's are the Best of the Best-of course, but you can do nice shots with all cameras with a clean lense.
It is a difference if you will produce pictures for a forum or you will produce prints in 13'' x 19''.
And btw:
Take a look at the website about Ansel Adams- he was and is the best one.
Some days ago I bought the Ansel Adams app for my iPad and sent private greetings to some friends. All they were impressed.

Wacker Mod.3 Black Edition | MWF | Shavemac Custom | Floid
Little bit bit disappointed with the factory edge on this new Wacker, but, only because the edge on my Mod.4 was so good- perhaps my expectations were a tad high...
