I would agree, but with the stipulation that the Mamiyas
I have seen were larger than the Hasselblads, which is
problematic for some scopes, like direct focus designs
where the camera is in the optical path. On a Newt,
with camera outside the optical path, this is not a
problem, of course, but I make this remark because I
have noticed a lot of people getting into direct focus
photography, where it matters for small apertures,
due to large obstruction.
