Medium Format (was from the "Hassleblad H1" thread)

some sort of an extension from the thread "Hassleblad H1", beside this, has anyone got any experience on the Mamiya 645AFd? Especially with the digital backs.

And no, I am not buying, just wanted some comments from the users. Don't have the money and the skills to go medium format. No banal talk pls, thanks!

Use the Contax 645 and LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!! Mirror slap minimal (1/30s is do-able), hybrid auto-focus (which leaves me in control ALL THE TIME).. removable sports and waistlevel finder, nice ergonomics, and.. e.. e... oh YEAH.. ZEISS lenses!!!

Its all about the glass right?

I do not use a digital back, still need to have a roof over my head... However.. why would to be any different between the different brands since most digital backs are done by other manufacturers with adaptors for each 645?
