I used to work for Wey Cameras & sold Hasselblads from 1992 to 2000. The 503CX was my favourite model they brought out along with the SWC (38mm Biogon), You've got a great camera for sure.
The T* lenses were awesome quality. The old chrome & black style lenses had a useful self timer facility that I occasionally used with the mirror up button. I used to use a 500CM with an 80mmf2.8 for weddings. The square format was lovely for them, also you could crop to landscape or upright without losing quality and flapping about with a 645 or 6x7 though the RB with a rotating back was a good medium format too it was massive in comparison.
The beauty of the Blad, is it was designed for left hand held use by Victor. I've still got a really old style quick release plate which was a useful addition to set it up on a tripod quickly.
