The 250mm lens does not need a tripod with film speeds of ISO 400, slow speeds will require a tripod. Since I use ISO 400 films most of the time, I shoot the 250mm hand held.

Same for me.

That is an assumption. Are you sure it was a good one?

That is true, but then back in 2007 I was urging people on APUG to buy all formats of film cameras and lenses but no body listened.

So did you go to the detail listing all the parts that were needed? What did you expect for an answer?

Lurk no more Welcome to APUG Photrio!!

I have avoided monopods for the same reason. I also avoid monopole radio antennae.

38mm Biogon, the 50mm, the 80mm, and sometimes the 250

I use the Nikon SB 800 with my Hasselblad. I just do not use all those 503 CX special features.

Sadly in the last year many store stopped carrying new and used black & white contrast filters. All they have are polarizers and ND filters.

I see Mike at Samys Camera on Fairfax. He is a Hasselblad trained repairman. He works fewer than five days a week so call first to find out which days he is in.

Then take that lens to a Hasselblad repair person and have it adjusted. It only takes a few minutes unless the shutter shaft has to be replaced, That eliminates the shutter from prematurely firing which causes the problem.

Who wants silent?!? I like the THHHH-WACK! of a shutter boldly stating that "I am here! Hear me roar!"

I never had a problem with UV light in the refrigerator or the freezer.

There are always some that come on the market again. Wait a little and the check back again at you favorite store or website.

I do not bother to replenish fixer. After about 100 photographs I dump the fixer and make a new batch.

I agree. Most of us have a real life and do not need to get into endless testing of every single part.

None of us was born with this knowledge. It takes time for every thing to fall into place. We will help you get there.

OP is the original poster. In this thread you.

Read The Friendly Manual <=== the polite version ;)

That is why I have the 2XE, but then the moose, elk, ... just move further away so that the best that I can do with the 500mm and the 2XE is get a photograph of a herd. See post #8 about the 1200mm lens I use for 35mm.

That supplements ones physical fitness program.

I avoid reflex lenses because I do not like all the little circles caused by the out of focus artifacts.

Eliipses can be very dangerous it one does not watch the traffic when walking on to the Ellipse!

Is that a big RTFM?

That must be some really large felt pen! Is it in the Guinness record book?

My Hasselblad repairman said that all lenses with shutters, not just Hasselblad, should be fired 10 to 15 times at 1 second every three months. Also moving the iris full open to full close would be advised.

How come all the buildings are numbered 9?

Hasselblad has published many times that their cameras and lenses have been designed to be stored in the cocked position. For other cameras check with the manufacturer or RTFM.

Great drum. Great price for today.
