I am looking to purchase my first Medium format system and need some advice.
I am an ameture and can not afford $12,000+ for a system so here are my thoughts.
Mamiya AFD w/ 80mm lens
Leaf Valeo 22 Wi
Both I can find used for under $7,000.
I found a Leaf Valeo 22 Wi in a Hasselblad H1 mount. Can that mount be converted or taken off and a Mamiya mount put on?
I really wanted a Hasselbald H1 but after comparing prices and lens cost I thought Mamiya would be a better fit. I liked the features and feel of the H1 but it is expensive even used.
Is there any reason why I should spend almost 50% more for Hasselblad and HC lenses as opposed to Mamiya. I know lens quality is somewhat subjective but are the Hasselblad HC lenses that much better?
Thanks
