tried Hasselblad 500 CM with Sinar emotion 75(33MP, 16 bits).
fun thing comes with no meter, no autofous. all three took with estimated measures during stop at red lights (sorry for my funny English, PC window 7 chinese version even more funny). it was 5-6 o'clock on way home. through tint car window, I shot couples for fun with new used camera and back. if no care about composition, color shift, out of focus, it was realy fun with "photography".
interesingly, after I bought emotion 75, I went to Calmulet to rent a hasselblad 503cw as the previous owner of back using 503cw, but the calmulet gave me 500CM, say 503cw was rent out although I booked first.so T tried couple pics and found 500CM was fine with back, so I bought this 500CM with grid screen ,CF standard lens, waist level and and A12 film back abouth 875USD (relatively cheaper than that on ebay)
sorry, particularly give a funny show here (no shame ha), but really happy for that one camera can do both film and digital.

as an amateur, I think just shoot whatever you have and whatever you could have and whatever you could rent to shoot. there is no such a fixed price or equipment for what you think is best for you, it is a digital time. all gone with number.
