    Should I trade in my Fuji GW690III for a Fuji GF670 or Plaubel Makina 670/67?

    I carry the Hasselblad and two lenses in a backpack with the SWC. Since the weight in on my back, well balanced, it is not a problem to backpack the camera. But I will also use the same toploading backpack with a Nikon AF for color with a 28mm to 200 AF zoom lens a Nikon AF for black & white...

    Should I trade in my Fuji GW690III for a Fuji GF670 or Plaubel Makina 670/67?

    I guess that I need to hold your hand as I walk through this with you. The OP raised the point that one option could cost him $3,000, wlth that kind of money the OP may want to check out buying a Hasselblad. Gee that was not too hard to follow was it? Please let go of my hand now.

    My buying a Leica M6 from the UK DHL shipping experience

    I am happy that in the end you got what you wanted and saved money. You have shown the proof of concept that when the currency exchange is favorable and the the right product is available it is worth making the leap.

    Will there ever be another photographic movement?

    I have called and cancelled subscriptions, gotten a confirmation number and they still continue to drain the credit card. Call, told, scream, ... it does not matter, they keep coming after you until you file complaints with the Commerce Department and then they can suddenly fix the problem...

    Jobo processor - concerns

    I agree. I bought the Jobo CPP2 and the 3010 Expert Drum [up to 10 4"x4" negatives] and the price seemed high, but I started using it for both color and black & white film and quickly the prices were amortized off. One of the best photographic purchases I have made.

    Who in the heck uses a motor winder/drive on a film camera these days?

    Having a car is important, as Ed Weston said, "There is nothing worth photographing more than 200 yards from the car."

    That is a good reason, unless you can run really fast.

    Should I trade in my Fuji GW690III for a Fuji GF670 or Plaubel Makina 670/67?

    The camera has to work for you, not what others are happy with, but if you are going to spend $3,000US then you should be considering a Hasselblad with better reliability, parts, service and lenses. Besides the Hasselblad is a system that its upward and downward compatible since 1957. You will...

    Should I trade in my Fuji GW690III for a Fuji GF670 or Plaubel Makina 670/67?

    One needs to fire the shutter a second time to end the T exposure, not advance the film, change the shutter speed or punt it across a goal line.

    Should I trade in my Fuji GW690III for a Fuji GF670 or Plaubel Makina 670/67?

    I have been using Hasselblads for over a decade and the pentagonal aperture has not caused any artifacts nor problems. People have been using the Hasselblad since 1957 without that being a problem. You have an Operator Assisted Failure.

    Something many avoid because it is easy to sign up for too many subscription services and then hard to get out of some of the later.

    Michael Kenna Donates all of his work to France

    Got check with a tax expert or investment expert, everyone has different situations in various locals. Michael Kenna did something which is good for him and his situation and all you can do is gripe about it.

    It may well be, but it would probably not be interesting nor amazing. Roughly half the people in the world have one.

    They make little donuts in the unfocused areas and that is the main reason I never bought any mirror lenses.

    I have been essentially cashless for over two decades. If one does not carry cash, then they are not seen with cash and are less likely to be held up by robbers.

    There will be a new photographic movement however we do not know what its name is, when it will start, when it will end or what its description will be. We must be patient.
