The massive advantage of the M system over Hasselblad, is the potential for using exquisitely small lenses, making the overall package so much smaller, and so portable.
Agree, I carry my M11 with three M lenses and supporting equipment for cleaning, spare battery, and filter set, in a very small bag designed to hold just a Q3. So nice and portable I carry it almost everywhere I go. Not going to do that with the Hasselblad.
We each have our setup based on our needs and tolerances. I use MindShift Gear PhotoCross 13 Sling. It fits under the seat when flying internationally. It holds X2D/38mm v, M11M and two, or three lenses plus an IPad, portable battery and charging cables. I consider the X2D/38mm to be a compact setup. The problem with the X2D is when you want other focal lengths..things get bulky and heavy fast. Luckily for me, I can travel with only the X2D/38mm and not require other lenses, or cameras.
Agree. When i want to travel heavy I take my SL3, mostly an SL APO or two, M11, and three lenses. Excellent image quality between 21mm and 130mm.
