Vick,
Since you brought-up a 6X6 SLR, you may look at
the flawless 50mm Distagon & Rolleiflex SL66
combination. Others on this board may opine
with reams of lens data, performance curves and
other inanities, but your eyes will remain the
judge. Whichever camera you decide to research,
try to borrow or rent one for a day or two. I
have extensive experience with the Rolleiwides,
the SL66/50 Distagon and the 38mm SWC
Hasselblad. I have yet to be disappointed...but
then, I don't own an Air Force test chart or optical bench.
The Air Force test chart is not the
benchmark. The finest test chart available is
that produced by the National Bureau of Standards
-- they got the US mint to print the chart. Hard
to find but unbeatable in quality.
