hartblei 1006M set vs. Arax-cm set

<p>Hi folks, </p>

<p>I am thinking about buying one of those above sets. Currently I can not decide which to take. On one hand the hartblei has got the advantage of the ability to use Hasselblad backs as well. On the other hand the Arax is based on the Kiev 88-cm. I want to use P6 lenses afterwards.<br>

So any help would be appreciated..<br>

<p>an option might be a blad 500c/m with almost the same setup. What do you think? Compared with the original prices for arax and hartblei the blad is slightly more expensive but more reliable. </p>

<p>If you want to use P-6 mount lenses, you might consider the far more reliable Kiev 60 (or, better, the Arax 60).In it's Arax incarnation, the camera isn't even particularly ugly :-)</p>

<p>I'm very happy with my Arax K88 CM MLU (using CZJ lenses)... but I don't hate my Blads!</p>

<p>Yeah, well... ;)<br>

But I do I like my Arax, works like a charm and CZJ lenses are very good.</p>

<p>If you want to use P6 lenses pick a camera that takes them...</p>

<p>Thank you very much for all the recommendations/comments. I just lloked around and found some good offers of blads in UK and here in germany as well. I will keep you updated about my decision where to go ;-)<br>
