Hasselblad prices

Mamiya 6 and 7 are going for big bucks today, too. Plus, I understand that they can be difficult or impossible to repair.

I paid $2800 for mine with 3 lenses, recently CLA'd. There are absolutely shops that service them. These days, every camera is difficult to repair. It's a growing problem.
 
Scanning is an entirely different discussion.

The key is to go to camera club meetings and bide your time until someone mentions that they really need to get rid of a Hasselblad outfit. Then strike when 5he seller is at his weakest!

€10 a roll of B&W film? Is it affordable for you?
I'm not sure you wouldn't miss focus with a TLR without a pentaprism.
I would rather recommend a rangefinder, such as the Agfa Super Isolette or the Iskra.

I'm not sure if anyone is serious anymore. But if you balk at the price of film, you probably don't print anyway. Why not just go digital?

Did I mention anywhere that it's not affordable for me? Mehguy complains about this.
Ektachrome hurts but I have no other choice, because I love transparency projected on 2.5 x 2.5 meter screen.
 
The current price of Ektachrome is nothing compared to what the price of gasoline/petrol is going to be in this country, near future. That might be good since I'll stay home more and play in my darkroom.

By no stretch of the imagination is the Holga in the same league as a Hasselblad. Sorry.

I assumed he was joking, but maybe not.

I love the Holga for the particular look it gives me and I've been using it a lot lately for a specific project I'm working on, but it's no Hasselblad.
