Thanks for the replies everyone. Rotation is going to be an issue if the camera doesn't have a grip and prism finder. (Does V Hassie have such a grip?)
So I'm a little confused. Someone said that there's a crop with the Hassie V, but that's incorrect? Then there's no rotating with the Rollei - I looked into it a little but couldn't find that much info. It looks awesome, but it's pricey. How do you shoot verticals?
It's all so confusing so now I'm looking at maybe an H2 or even H1. Anything to look for/watch out for in those bodies?
Finally, I do like the idea of the Mamiya RZ - except for the bulk. I initially was liking the idea of a 645 body that was easy to use. It seems like it's hard to get everything without spending $33k for the latest and greatest.

If you are keen on the Mamiya RZProII, then i would suggest that you spend few more dollars and go for the ProIID model. The PhaseOne adapter for this model will allow you to use a MamiyaAFD mount P21 back with all the features of the ProIID, then if you wanted to you could mount the same back on a 645AFD/AFDII or AFDIII and use all of the Mamiya Autofocus, 645 Manual Focus, Hasselblad V-series(via and adapter), Hartblie(via and adapter), Penatcon(via and adapter) lenses,plus some other lenses that are fully announced yet on the 645AFD. This would give you the ultimate flexibility.
PhaseOne also just lowered the price on new P21+'s buy $4k,having it list for $10,990.
Hope this helps in your decision making process.
