First off, thanks in advance for anyone who can help me further
Right, I need some advice about hasselblads if you please. I'm looking to buy a second-hand one from eBay probably under the £1000 mark. It will be mainly used for landscape/people photography (so need a wide-ish lens). I've used medium format before, the really old but fun to use Yashica twin lens. I love using the waist level finder and the use of taking photographs that way seems to transport me back in time. The action of taking the photograph means something too unlike digital which although I use often doesnt hold and capture the experience of the moment...
Ive used a Bronica recently too which was nice but I suppose like many others the hasselblad sits in its own magnificence as an object in its own right so thats the one for me.
Anyway enough romance I have had a scout round and have found some available, however there seem to be series' of hasselblad models and Im in the dark as to know which to get...? What are the differences between the models..? If anyone could point me in this to a webpage with info to help me decide id be very grateful. Or if you have used any of the ones highlighted and have experience with any would be of help too...
Heres the list so far:

Would you buy from so far away ?
Thats it. As you will see some of them are due to finish in the next week so a prompt response would be greatly appreciated
