Well I want to get into medium format at some point in the future (maybe a bit distant as my budget at the moment is concentrated on my digital upgrade)
Anyhow, I love the look of hasselblad cameras, but would buy second hand due to the cost of new ones.
The question is, do they have metering in? Or do you have to get a seperate meter?

Depends on the model, but most of them are totally manual and meterless.

Buy yoursellf a little pocket Gossen meter - they are as good as any basic built-in meter if not better.

Get a PME meter prism, I've seen used ones starting from £119. I've got one for mine. They give a meter reading in EV's which you dial straight into the lens. The other advantage is you get an image the right way round. It also has a flash bracket on top. All you do is input which ISO film you're using and the fastest aperture the lens uses and the meter does the rest.

The market is such that right now there are some fine bargains to be had on second hand MF equipment, including Hasselblad, and I personally see no point to buy new unless you have money to burn.
As far as metering is concerned, I use handheld meters, and again there are some good bargains to be had. I use either Minolta Flash Meter V and Minolta Spotmeter F when using my 'blad or my fuji MF gear, reliable and flexible.
Good luck with your MF.
