    how do you make boring stuff look, like ... interesting ?

    If you used film, you would not need to use HDR. Find another subject.

    You may have missed the point that for decades Hasselblad advertised that "Square is the perfect format."

    Have I Misunderstood ISO?

    Under exposing by shooting at ISO 800, merely looses detail and increases the work necessary to make a good print. At least if it was shot at ISO 200 the negative would have been denser and more detail would be available to print. If one is not going to use box speed, at least show more shadow...

    C330 Lens Mystery

    180mm, the perspective is wrong for the 65mm lens. The wide angle lens would have distorted the tires that close up.

    Why does the Honeywell Tilt-a-mite flash have a capacitor?

    Only one basic problem with this logic. Honeywell and its electrical engineers would not waste parts and profit for unneeded parts. The problem is that you do not understand the design. So how about another question: Exactly where did you get your electrical engineering degree?

    Hasselblad A12V Back

    The Hasselblad can be rotated 90 degrees easily, unlike some other MF SLRs, so there is really no need for the A12V, when the 645 back is used. So film is not wasted.

    But those are not circular frames and besides someone offered the Hasselblad Fisheye to me at a price that I could not refuse. It is a fisheye in a square frame, the way a fisheye lens should be.

    I do not know what problems you have making dynamic compositions in a square frame. Many world renowned artists have done that for hundreds of years and I certainly do not have a problem doing it either. Perhaps you need to visit some art museums or take an art appreciation class or history of...

    I cannot image what would be desirable about a vertical rectangle when we all know that square is the perfect format.

    Hasselblad lens pricing (CF Series)

    The SWC is very light and takes up very little space. The 40mm is large and heavier, when I handled it in the stores I found the distortion much greater than the SWC and much less useful. Do not underestimate to SWC's rectalinear optics which makes it much more useful than the 40mm lens. I...

    Why not crop after the film is developed? That will not change the amount of film used and you may change your mind on the composition later.

    Hasselblad lens pricing (CF Series)

    I recommend the SWC over the 40mm because the SWC is rectalinearly correct. I have found that one feature is worth the greater cost.

    No, the 60mm lens is too close to the 80mm. I recommend: 50mm, 80mm, 150 or 180mm, 250mm OR 60mm, 100mm, 180mm, 250mm

    In the western US the SBR is so great that over exposing one stop would start blowing out the high lights.

    Is there going to be 220 available again ... one day?

    tIt is highly unlikely due to technical problems, obtaining the needed paper, and marketing problems from the start. I seriously considered 220 but found that many of the films I wanted in 220 were not available from Kodak, Fuji, and Ilford. That was a major complaint when 220 was introduced...
