i hate using vintage museum pieces as my gear. leica m6 and hassy 500cm are great but im thinking of replacing them with a nikon f2 and mamiya rb67... the downsides are basically not significant given that the replacements are cheaper than repair and basic maintenance on the m6 and 500cm
>f2 has better composition, metering and flash sync speed than the leica m6
>f2 is significantly bigger and heavier and its lenses are noticeably worse
>rb67 has brighter focus screens, 6x7 is nicer than 6x6, and the rb67 focus knob is way faster and nicer than the hasselblad focus rings.
>rb67 is significantly bigger and heavier, lenses are half a stop slower or more and the wide angle lenses are maybe a little worse
will i regret this
