It is not a question of understanding, rather whether or not it is widely accepted by the public and that has not happened. My credit union now handles digital currency, BitCoin, but it is still not widely accepted.

When any company provides a digital full screen 6x6 back for a Hasselblad and is affordable, let me know. Until then no. Back to the topic, the OP specified film.

I enjoyed the Minolta X700 for years and brought one for my daughter.

You could resubscribe at no cost to you. Gratis.

Now you are no longer talking about film photography which the OP is looking for. Also the Hy6 system is more pricey and what one would pay for a basic Hasselblad system.

But then you would have to deal with parallax, and not seeing the effect of a polarizer and not have the TTL correct for the polarizer.

That is ok, the sucker does not understand what he is buying.

My best friend and I set up a darkroom in his basement. He brought an enlarger and tanks. With advice from the teachers at his school we started developing film and printing.

But why take the risk. You might not find a stupid sucker and you would be out the money. Make your claim, print a certificate, print it out, and with almost no cost to you sell it to a sucker.

Probably for the person who in not going to do the repair themself. Only Hasselblad had a good supply of parts and service and much better than any possible competition.

Now if we want to talk about a real color slide film, then the subject is Ektachrome.

The only time I use a tripod with my Hasselblads is when I use the 500mm lens or the 500mm lens with the 2XE extender because the 500mm lens is too heavy for me to hold on target and still for a photograph. I shoot with ISO 400 film hand held for all the other lenses.

When I travel to Europe I only took the 50mm and 80mm lenses, except when I went to the Greek Islands when I took the SWC, 50mm and 80mm lenses and hardly used the 80mm lens.

If one always makes sure the camera and the lens are both cocked before removing or putting on, there will not be jams. I have had lenses off the camera self fire and I have had to use the screwdriver tool to recock the lens.

Now we know that you will buy two Hasselblads, so cut to the chase and to it. That would save bandwidth for other threads. Besides if you buy CF or later lenses then one set of B60 filters will fit most of the lenses. See a way to buy Hasselblad and still save money. <<wink>> <<wink>>

I too travel with two cameras: Hasselblad 503 CX with the 50mm and 80mm lenses and the Hasselblad 903 SWC or Nikon N75 for C-41 color negatives and Nikon F100 for black & white negatives

You could just choose a star, claim it as yours, make your own certificate and save the money. You would have all the privileges for the cost of paper and ink.

I considered Rollei and Hasselblad. I chose Hasselblad because of the availability of parts, service and the extensive system. Rollei has the bellows and movements, but there were other drawbacks. I have the 30mm Fisheye, the 38mm SWC, 50mm, 80mm, 150mm, 250mm, the 500mm and the 2XE extender...

Seriously? or Siriusly?

Except for developing with pyro, always use stop bath. PE, a retired Kodak Photo Engineer who was an expert on film and developers, strongly recommended using stop bath. Beside stop bath with indicator is not very expensive. Also use PhotoFlo or other surfactant and follow the instructions.

I recommend that when one shoots 120 film that they store the film in film case like this for 5 or 10 rolls of time to prevent light piping if the roll is not tightly rolled. Nothing to do with your problem which as others have said appear to be air bells. Welcome to APUG Photrio!!

I was in Ely in the winter overnight. The next morning it was -17°F and even though I had the proper level of antifreeze the ice in the coolant broke the water pump and the only mechanic around really ran up the bill way above what it should have been.

I found that there is not a lot of information available about the Nikonos lenses so I was sharing what little I have found. On the other hand, he pushed me over the edge and made me buy another lens.

Two f/stops is still within the range of Portra 400 developed normally. Three stops would be a bit to much IMNOHO.

Forget your longer lenses. I have rarely used a long lens in Europe. I strongly recommend that you take the 45mm, the 75mm (shift), and the 90mm as well as lots of film. Enjoy!

I have nothing but great experiences with KEH. When I brought a lens from them and had a problem, they repaired it at no cost. The repair costs would have been much more than I paid for the lens. The lens is still a keeper.

I only have the lenses that can be used above water too, the f/2.5 35mm and the f/4 80m lens. http://www.naturfotograf.com/lens_nikonos.html From Ken Rockwell, not my favorite but a times useful Now you did it! You made me buy the 28mm lens!

I recommend getting both.
