Fast and logterm compatibility
The Hasselblad 553 EXL is a wonderful upgrade and/or starter to any Hasselblad system. It is easy to add a digital back or get film backs for this body. And, the SCA connection is great if you use handheld flash. A great fast-handling system for wedding or portrait work. I use it in the field and studio for fine art and technical shooting and I love it almost as much as my 4x5 and 8x10 systems, which is what I grew up shooting. It is fast handling and the instant re-cocking of the ELX body means you have an instant return image in the finder - no image black out on each shoot. The 553EXL uses standard AA batteries which means that power sources are available in all the modern world - no need to find a AC line and futz with AC connectors or voltages to recharge a NiCad.
