    Hasselblad 553ElX love

    I have never used one, but if I got my hands on one, I would have to run out and buy bulk 70mm film, a 70mm bulk loader or two or three, 70mm development tank and a bunch of reels, . . .

    Hasselblad V: sliiiiiightly misaligned hinges on the backside.

    While you may be able to adjust the hinges yourself, a Hasselblad repair man can realign the film back on the Hasselblad jig quickly.

    DIY repairs: Isn't that pointless?

    DIY repairs depend on the problem, parts available, appropriate tools and your skills. I no longer do more than minor repairs and would rather keep the existing repair people in business.

    Folding 6x6, narrowed, looking for insight

    I had a circa 1933 Certo SuperDolly folding camera with a very sharp, high quality Zeiss f/3.5 lens, 645 and 6x6 folding camera. I was missing the 645 film cover plate, but the modern 645 120 film numbers did not line up with the numbers.

    Nikonos lens impossible to remove

    One has to first push the lens towards the camera before turning. I have to look on my other computer for an address of a Nikonos repair man in Los Angeles.

    Sources & Pricing For Hasselblad CLA/Repairs In The US

    I have used Samy's Camera on Fairfax in Los Angeles California since 2007. I used KEH once for a CLA and stuck shutter under warranty for a 500 mm C lens which required a complete disassembly and re-collimation. That would have been on $750 at Hasselblad NJ back then for a $550 lens purchase.

    What are some odd interactions you've had while out with your camera?

    Over the years, many times I have been asked if "that is a Hasselblad?" and it was. One time when I I offroading in Moab Utah, a guy told me that his son's new digital camera could "beat the pans off my camera". I gave him a look and said "You must be so proud that your son can spend so much...

    What make RF lenses smaller than their SLR counterparts

    SLRs are larger than range finders because the lens needs to be further from the film plane to avoid the mirror impacting the back of the lens. Furthermore the prism and mirror assembly adds to the weight.

    Maybe there is a growing awareness of the analog revival as not just being "Nostalgic"...

    The Nikon Z7ii has a nice collection of less than useful features too.

    Maybe there is a growing awareness of the analog revival as not just being "Nostalgic"...

    You can say that again. The learning curve can be steep on some digital cameras.
