Dear James, dear others
I will re-frame this
Given the current marketing efforts on both sides, who do you think
will suffer more (in the coming 3 years) between Rollei and
Hasselblad? Which of the two companies is in closer contact with its
users and its market?
Concering the gear yes, what you say is close to apostasy ;-), I
would not change any rollei with any true Blad
the difference is there
rolllei is undervalued
and is letting other companies acquire portions of its own market
the new leadership in rollei must get the message
either they become more vocal or they will suffer a great deal more

I fear that what I'm about to say might be blasphemous but I'm not sure
that it's really meaningful to pick out photographers according to which
box and lens they buy into. The photographs are photographs and the
camera I'm sure can stand on it's own merits as a tool without having to
be used by a master.
Is there much that a Hasselblad camera can do that a Rollei can't and vice-versa? Where one of those situations arises surely a good photographer would make the appropriate choice between the two systems when possible?
Anyhow I shall end me stand with the obvious answer of David Baily but mainly because I love that portrait of Michael Caine.
