Bob,
You're doing well with the square format. I have loved shooting square
since I was 15, when my father bought me an ancient prewar Rolleiflex. I
still have it, and have also owned a Mamiya C330f, two Hasselblads, and a
Mamiya 6. I had to sell the C330f and the first Hasselblad many years ago
because I was unemployed at the time and facing hunger. The later
Hasselblad was bought in better times. I sold it and used the money for
the Mamiya 6 because of my health. I just couldn't carry the Hassy and the
3 lenses I had for it. The Mamiya 6 is a rangefinder system with three
lenses that weighs less than a Nikon D800 and a couple of its bigass zooms
does.
I shoot about 80% of my work on the Mamiya 6, and it is my everyday, all
the time carry camera.
