Hi Philip,
Here's info about the FlexBody. http://medfmt.8k.com/mf/hassyflex.html
It has back movements, which I like better than lens movements. Rise, fall,
& tilt and 30+mm of extension capability. It is an outstanding camera body
for folks (like me) who have a plethora of Hasselblad lenses and film
backs. Used prices in the US are falling as well. One can get a used Flex
here for $1000-$1200. BTW, Hasselblad stopped making them. But will support
them forever since they are so simple.
;-)
