| I considered a Bronica, and did serious research on it; best bang for 
the buck.  The lenses hold their own against the Hassys, but the one 
thing I will have to admit, the Hassys give good color balance, more so 
then te Mamiyas and Bronicas.  But in terms of sharpness, I couldn't 
tell the difference.  My friend's got a Hassy 500CM with a 80mm lens, 
and a 220 back and that's it.  (All he can afford, sounds about right 
huh?)  But it takes stunning pictures, but his pics are good in general, 
and so once again, I maintain that the equipment is a secondary to the 
photographer. 
Do you have a SERIOUSLY STURDY tripod??  If not, I can guarantee that 
Tripod + Bronica will be sharper then Hand + Hassy no contest.  If you 
don't have a good tripod, buy the Bronica and a tripod, that then 
becomes a no-brainer...
