Posted by yokes I can honestly say it is the best medium format camera I've used. Image quality is as good as a hasselblad or mamiya (both of which I've used a fair bit), but with the built in metering, this camera is much more fun to use.

I will agree with that, I don't have as much experience with MF SLRs, but compared to my Yashica and Rollei, it's nice to have a camera with an eye-level finder that isn't awkward to use, as much as I like my TLRs, they're awkward, you almost always need a tripod, the mirrored image in the waist level finder, I guess learning with eye level finders is what makes it just that much more awkward. Not to mention the 16 shots per roll instead of 12, and the option to get a 220 insert and get even more shots.
Plus it's big, heavy, all kinds of awesome, I get wonderfully strange looks when I use it, and it makes such a noise that you know you've fired off a frame.
