Last summer I switched to Contax 645 system. Same Zeiss lenses as the Hassy, more reasonable body prices, 645 format which I love, and the best one button focus system in the business. Its an auto focus system that is independent of the shutter, which really works awesome and sold me on the camera.

Only drawback is 1/125th flash synch, which is tough after 2 years of D1X and high shutter synch speeds. But you will love every other feature, including a dead-on meter and built-in flash meter.
