Hasselblad 500c/m description- problem??

[Dan Daniel]

My 500C/M weights 1637 grams
My Medalist II weighs 1351 grams

They don't feel that different in use. ;-)

The ELX is over 2600 grams. That's with an NC2 prism; with waist level finder it is 2400 grams. So... uh... yeah, that's different from a Medalist, a Rolleiflex, etc.

Just for fun, did you know that the Texas Leica, Fuji GW690 series, weighs a few ounces more than a Medalist?

2600 grams??!! Yikes. That does seem a bit excessive. The Medalist is heavy enough!
No, I didn't know how much the "Texas Leica" weighs. I've never considered owning one. My Medalist produces the best 6x9 negatives I could ever want.

Never head of this setting not being able to be turned off. Always been able to find a code, opening closing doors, pushing key fob, etc., to turn it off, but usually not in the manual; a search was needed. But then haven't dealt with every car out there. I will take a guess- US car brand?

North American Fiat 500 - 2014 actually.
Which means it is an interesting amalgam of Italian and US design, with liberal doses of Polish, Italian and US/Canadian parts, all assembled in Mexico

LOL. A true post-modern mutt-mobile!! Fun car. And I thought I was pushing the limits when I mounted a German Tessar on a Japanese Autocord body with a Swedish Hasselblad prism.

Best car we have ever owned - but we need to spend some money on it now as it ticks over 165,000 km.
