can't tell you why I like it so much better than the 503CX I
had. What was your student's reasoning?
Thanks,

Her reasoning was a light bulb going off, in her head, after I showed her:
Macro out to 1:1 w/o any accessories.
Film backs take both 120 and 220 film.
Scheimpflug for DOF control.
All of which the Hasselblad cannot do. You can (and I did for years)
carry an extra Hasselblad body - the FlexBody - for Scheimpflug. So
my total weight is cut down considerably by not carrying both 120 and
220 backs, a FlexBody, and a plethora of extension tubes. The SL66
lenses are considerably lighter than the Hassy equivalents since
there are no shutters, which makes the whole Rollei kit lighter than
the equivalent Hasselblad kit. For TTL flash, I'll use my Hasselblad.
But I don't use TTL flash but once in several years. My last use was in 2001.
Hasselblad, 45 deg finder, 90 deg finder, two 120 backs, two 220
backs, 16, 32, 56mm extension tubes, 50, 80, 150, 250 lenses,
FlexBody, filters, shades.

Rollei SL66, 45 deg finder, 90 deg finder, two backs, 50, 80, 150,
250 lenses filters, shades.
