You are not alone. Too much work to do correctly for very little payoff.

But does the flash make everyone in the room see colorful after images when it goes off? There is nothing like a 5 or 22 flash bulb to put stars in peoples' eyes.

For some, not all.

That should be cleared up with a film back CLA [Clean, Lubricate and Adjust].

Old O rings and dried out lubrication will not help if taking photographs while walking in a ran storm or going behind Niagara Falls to take photographs.

The reflection in the water adds to the impact of the photograph.

I recommend buying the newest body in the best condition one can afford. I did not buy the CW because I never wanted to add a power winder. Many have been happy with the 500C/M. Look at http://www.hasselbladhistorical.eu/HS/HSTable.aspx to learn about the difference between models. This...

It is a good move. They wanted me to bring the cameras and lenses directly to them, rather than make me wait for the shipping back and forth. :laugh:

Now one just has to wait longer between buying lenses.

I use the Hasselblad 503 CX with a 45° PME prism and I find it easy to carry around, no left-right reversal [right-left in the UK]. Parts, lenses and service are readily available and I have found it to be highly reliable.

Kodachrome is long dead and not coming back use Ektachrome or what you can get from Fuji.

I use a round battery tube for the classical press camera flash gun. It serves as a handle and improves the holdability.

"www.amazon.com/Xuan-35mm-Optical-Viewfinder-Black/dp/B08X3PDHJY" I brought one that is orange to go with my Nikonos V which is orange and black.

That is what good photographers do.

Are you saying that a journalist would not ever lie?

No Hasselblad prices started going up about 5 years ago and there is no slowing down.

Enjoy!!

Correction: two bodies and two drivers, one pair for color and one pair for black & white film.

Order the correct Nikonos grease and O rings on the internet. Buy them by the bag rather than one or two since the shipping will dominate the price and the shipping price is about the same.

Any of an number of inexpensive 28mm and 35mm viewfinders made in China.

Three of the scales has infinity closer to the camera body and one has infinity further away. Something is off.

I used to collect 16 rolls for C-41 processing, but I do not like printing out that many rolls.

I have three one for each lens on my Pacemaker Speed Graphic with the appropriate distance scale.

From Lihue HI to LAX x-ray machines.

Longer fix time and longer wash time.

I use a post handle screwed into the tripod mount to keep my hands and fingers out of my WideLux F7 photographs.

I have been allowed to shoot in a museum in Los Angeles because I only shot photographs of the room with may works but not so that they could be made in to useful ways to view individual photographs. I now just do not bring a camera to a museum or if I have, I check it in and pick it up when I...
