Chris,
I have used RZ and Hasselblad from time to time and never like them as they both are based on very old design. However, I must say the Hassel is a great system.
I have been using the C645 for almost a year now and mainly bought it for studio portraits. I use the 120mm APO macro for portrait since you can get very tight (up to 1:1). It is a manual focus and best lens in Contax line up.
Comparing to the Hassel 150mm portrait, the C645 is AF and is f/2.8. You can get it now for about $1573 from B&H during the Contax Day and after rebate. I won't compare their quality (never like to get into those Canon vs Nikon games), but I love all the C645 lenses. The best thing is, I can use them in my N1.
Since I got the 35mm and 45-90 zoom, I start shooting landscape. I think I can dump my 4x5 now. The 35mm (equivalent to 21mm in 135 format) is very nice lens, especially for interior shoot. And the 45-90mm zoom is great and has fix f-stop. You won't get it from the H1.
I am thinking to get a 140mm in the future to do some editorial/fashion kind of personal work. The AF and the f/2.8 is kind of attractive.
Good luck.
Albert.
