<p>Thanks for your answers. I deeply appreciate it.</p>

<p>Hi there,<br> I'm looking for a (versatile) system I could use in a studio for still photography and portrait.<br> I'm pretty interested in the Hasselblad 503 CW with a CFV-50C.<br> Why? I love the feel of this camera.<br> As an ex-photoreporter, I used to — I switched a few years ago to a Leica M9-P — shoot with a Canon 5D mk II (back in the days), along with a Leica M6 and a Hasselblad 500 CM.<br />I keep such a great souvenir of my 500CM...<br> So, I wondered if I could still have the same pleasure and feeling while entering the modern world (hence the digital back).<br> I'd be doing macro photography of still objects (wristwatches — particularly the movements and dial details — and other antique objects), along with portrait (of musicians, fashion-inspired and maybe corporate).<br> To sum up, my questions are: is the 503 CW a great choice for these uses? What should I know beforehand about the system? Any drawback to be aware of? Anyone using it who could give a feedback?<br /><br />PS: I love the fact the 503 CW can shoot film too — something you can't do with a 5Ds R<br /><br />I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.<br />Thanks,<br> Simon</p>
