Andrea,
If I needed a 6x6cm camera for wide angle as well as normal and
telephoto,
I would get a Hasselblad with 50mm, 80mm and 150mm lenses, rather than
three Rolleiflexes. In fact, that is just what I have and use. Or
would YOUR
subjects consider that "pro like equipment". What would they think of
you
with THREE Rolleiflexes hanging around your neck? Forget the Mamamiya,
it is a FPITA to use.
