The sooner you buy the Hasselblad, the sooner you will get to use it and enjoy it. As a wise man said " New Cut the cra9 and buy and hasselblad..."

That reminds me of a term from the 1960's .... ... what was it ... ... Oh yes ... Male Chauvinist Pig!!

I too saw people in photo clubs gaming the system to win rather than work on composing better photographs, so I stopped going to camera clubs.

Old Gregg has it right. You are looking antipodally.

Well I walked 50 Km both ways on ice and snow with barb wire wrapped around bare feet in a blizzard and it was uphill in both directions so I could save 5 cents by not using the coal fired trolleybuses.

Some even save as much as 10 cents a year by avoiding using stop bath with indicator which we all know is just so damned expensive!

I cut the learning curve shorter by going to workshops and learning from experts.

I can get up to fourteen stops out ISO 125 films and ISO 400 films, but for a wide range of lighting ISO 400 provides greater flexibility without flash. I do not have problems getting a great deal of latitude between shadows and highlights with Tri-X400, but Ilford FP4 can force me to drag...

Where you set the line is not where I set the line. And that is fine. Just do not make me eat your version, and I will not make you eat mine.

I have bought refurbished Epson printers and scanners in the past and they preformed well. There were no refurbished V850 when I bought mine, had there been I might have bought one.

The OP knew that a thread with this topic would stir the pot. It did.

The prints and slides look better if the lens cap is removed before taking the photograph.

Biting ones tongue can result in a mouth full of blood.
