I do not know how often I had the 501 CM and other 500-series Hasselblad already in my hands - always just at the point of buying one.
But everytime I hesitated. I love the design/appearance of it, It feels good in the hands and it is a pleasure to focus (with the newer models) thanks to the bright screen.
But on the other hand the film loading is not really my favored ways and since I do not want to use a prism-viewfinder, I do not have any metering with the body.
Since handmeters are not my thing, I decided for the Rollei 6003, but everytime a I see a 500 in a dealer's window, I have to stop and look at it
I would be interested to know how you use your 501 and whether you find the absence of the metering build into the body a painful restriction.
