Thank you. Good to know.

NOT A STUPID QUESTION I have had this happen to me. There is a pin in the film back that got stuck [bent, worn, grease, … ] and did not pop out when you removed the back and the previous roll. While there is film in the back there is nothing one can do, so finish the roll, then when the film...

Referencing Besides who is to say the cameras might be useful after death? No one has ever reported otherwise. 🙄 :errm:

Ball heads have the advantage that with them one can easily correct an aiming error that does on coincide with one of the three axis provided by the three axis heads.

Steve's Camera has been recommend to me by @BrianShaw and Samy's camera, when Samy's in Culver City could not perform the needed services. They have serviced a Pacemaker Speed Graphic and a Hasselblad 903 SWC for me.

Thank you for posting this so that it can be seen by many more people.

Hasselblad: cameras, wide choice of lenses, parts and service are still widely available whereas for many other candidate cameras this is not the case.

Welcome to APUG Photrio!!

On the other hand the Hasselblad brings you more enjoyment than 1953 baseball cards.

My comment was for an audience beyond other OP. Others may read this thread while considering the same choice with different criteria.

No, it happened to me only once, but once was more than enough. You have just been lucky so far. How much longer will your luck run?

Part of the question and answer is how big a pool of lenses does the OP want.

I agree. Wise words.

I have used those too.

I store it in five 1 liter StopLossBagsTM. StopLossBags.com

However reality takes over hence components, cables, sockets and board go bad.

Two besides me who understand what a great and forgiving developer XTOL is.

That was why went I had a choice between Nikon and Canon just before I was flying out of town I chose Nikon. Only recently I learned that Canon had to change its mount in order to accommodate the AF feature.

One does not have to over tighten the filters, they will do it by themselves. They get some sick enjoyment getting the owner frustrated.

I learned the hard way, not to stack threaded filters because over time they with bind up and be very difficult to separate. Bayonet filter can be stacked with no problems but both ends should be covered with caps.

As always you never disappoint us! You consistently post interesting photographs! Thank you.

A well designed and well built ball head strong enough to do its job works well for some people. I agree with your observations, but I use the three way especially with the Hasselblad 500mm lens or the Tamron 150mm to 600mm lens both with or without their 2X extenders.

Silly me. When the professional photographers were dumping there film Hasselblads and lenses around 2007, I bought my 503 CX for $400US, the 45 degree PME for $150US, the 80mm for $500US, the 50mm, 150mm and 250mm for $400US to $800US, and the 903 SWC for $3200US. I kept posting on APUG and...

My Hasselblad repairman has told me that the lenses should be fired 10 to 15 times at 1 second every three months. Also he and Hasselblads and lenses should be stored cocked; the springs were designed to be stored cocked.

I use filter pouches. A set for 35mm. A set for MF. A set for 4"x5",

No need to take all the lenses, just the 50mm, 80mm or 100mm, and the 250mm Hasselblad lenses.

About the same time I traded in my inherited Mamiya C330f with three lenses for a Hasselblad 503 CX and a 250mm lens. I then proceeded to buy us more Hasselblad lenses. That is when I changed my name to Sirius Glass.
