When one has a Hasselblad, if the photographs are not great, then one merely walks into the bathroom, looks in the mirror and sees the source of the problem. One can only blame themselves.
I have never owned a Hasselblad camera, but it strikes me that once once you do like Eisenhower " you have nowhere to go".

C vs. CF lenses - all my lenses are C lenses, most later C's with the T* coatings and I've never had a shutter fail other than one slow escapement needing service on a 250mm, which was quickly remedied by a friend who is a professional watchmaker.
I prefer the more compact design and superior depth of field indicators on the C lenses over CF. I've owned a couple CF lenses and they're long gone.

Another benefit: Bay 50 filters for C lenses are drastically cheaper than Bay 60 filters. The latter have almost disappeared unless you buy new Heliopan.

I do not care for the C lens ergonomics.
Yes, I've wanted one but have resisted. Great design concept but difficult to service or repair, not to mention rather expensive.I offer one final destination to this GAS journey: the Rollei SL66.
Did Hasselblad make a right-hand grip? I haven't seen one.Buy a Right handed hand grip, with a cable release and suddenly, your World makes sense again!

The C lenses, as well as every lens or accessory ever available for any Hasselblad model are absolutely perfect tools, impossible to improve. I really think you should apologize. It’s a wonder that anyone has ever purchased a non-Hasselblad camera. Why are there other brands? Makes no sense.
at my age it would stupid to buy it, so someone else could enjoy it
Nah - if you want it and can get it, go ahead. At your "advancing age", you don''t owe anyone else anything. You're entitled to whatever enjoyment you can get. So what if you don't have it very long? The honeymoon only lasts a short time, anyway.
From my background in large format, smooth and ergonomic. Almost a point & shoot to me!OK, I will appolgize for using C lenses, they are clunky.

I do not like pushing down the tab to change the settings.
Yeah, some people don't like it maybe because they're used to 35mm cameras, but I do like that aperture and shutter track together. Once set for the light level I don't have to pay much attention when swapping between depth of field and shutter speed, and can pay more attention to the subject.
I'm curious if the CF> lens EV lock can be reversed, as designed by Hasselblad?
It seems to me that the engineers of the CF> lenses would have recognized, in their design, that there would be a sizable number of patrons who would like to keep their lenses Apature and Shutter Speeds joined together.
Does anyone know if a service by Hasselblad Service people to reverse the set up on these CF> lense designs?
Quality companies, like Hasselblad, Zeiss, were often famous for their accommodating patrons, even those with unusual requests, so the original question, even in the later years of the CF lenses so the question, which seems to have upset some, is a valid one, IMO.
