The A16 backs violate Hasselblad's advice that "Square is the perfect format." I would never expose my cameras to such sacrilege, Sacra Bleu!

I agree. I did not by the XPAN early enough and now there are parts and service problems for them.

Still the Nikon F100 by far. It was the most advanced Nikon film camera that does not require a wheel barrow to move around. If one needs more exercise then look at the F5 or F6.

I use an open pail with warm waters as specified in the directions because I can see whether or not it is completely mixed. I would not see the small particles in a bottle.

NIkon N75 with Kodak UltraColor 400 film. No processing has been done yet since I am still traveling.

The C, CF and later versions are worth it.

Are you saying that @GregY is afraid of a little exercise to save money? :laugh:

Another Photrio success story. Now please become a subscriber.

Back in 1966 I was in the Luxembourg Gardens and every time I tried to photograph the guards with machine guns they turned away for me. I made it a game, but they were definitely not interested in playing it.

Oh, come on, you left out Hasselblad! How could you?!?! For shame!

So walk across the border like @MattKing does

I am happy to see that you got success and satisfaction.

I use a white paint bucket from a local paint store which I marked for 4 liters and 5 liters with a marking pen.

Frankly as a young man I photographed paintings. Now if I want a copy of a painting, I will willingly pay full fair for a quality print and let them make money and provide me with a quality print.

I have not used the Japanese sellers since I have had very good experiences with KEH. Occasionally they provided compete CLAs for me on lenses when necessary. I just do not have any experience with Japanese sellers, but then I am usually buying Hasselblad equipment. Also KEH will contact me...

Two minuses? :(

Useful information can be found in some forums but FaceBook is a poor location for events. After all FaceBook was setup to brag to ones high school friends.

Then reserve a time in advance or get up early in the day. If one goes early in the day, they can go back to the hotel to rest when they are tired. After which they can choose to stay in, eat nearby or go out again once out for more sightseeing when rested. So plan in advance or get up early...

Today there was a big crowd there with the deepest part lined up in front. The crowd was less on each side. I went to the left and in front was a couple doing selfies is twelve different poses including all the hand arrangements and then with their head together. As soon as they were finished...

My Hasselblad repair man advises to avoid the Hasselblad 200 and 2000 series because of parts and service problems. Stick with the V Series. Welcome to APUG Photrio!!

And you were better off before.

Not that that feature will be of much use if one cannot get parts and service. That is the heart of the push back on buying a Rollei SLR. I was warned not to buy one and get a Hasselblad V Series instead in 2007 by Samys Camera.

Welcome to APUG Photrio!!

It is hard to make a living with a camera because there are just too many GWCs around.

We are assuming that one knows how to handle a wide angle lens and use the viewfinder before taking a photograph. Using the 60mm alone instead of the 50mm and 80mm will be limiting in my not so humble opinion [IMNSHO].

Mounting health problems will eventually get all of us. I am sorry that she has to carry that burden.

"What is the best xyz?" Is just an invitation for everyone to jump in a post their camera drug of choice totally independent of anything the OP stated as criteria.
