Hasselblad Winding Film

[photomem]

When the day comes that I need a spare spool, I will probably just sacrifice a fresh roll of film. Good for the survival of the film industry too

Or you can just PM me, I have a mini stonehenge forming on the desk from 110 spools. Need some?

I'm sorry

what's different between pentax spools and hasselblad spools? shouldnt they be the same since it's the same film?

Yes. That was my dry wit showing. I was joking.

All kidding aside, enjoy your new camera. Use it a lot! Run tons of film through it. Try to wear it out.

Enjoy!

So let's wind this thread up by saying that you very quickly wound up in it with people winding you up something good.

Thanks for the offer, but I'm OK! I recently built a new shed entirely out of spare 120 spools, and I still have plenty left I just don't carry them around in my camera bag...

I have to admit this is a great thread. I too found myself in early training for Hassy ownership as a kid, that is how I learned about take up. I also had a yelling at the first "free labor job" I had with a fashion photographer. At 15 years old, loving photography every day I met a pro who let me come to a fashion shoots and he handed me a Hassy back and said "here kid load this". I did a 50% good job, I did not get the film under the silver pincher clip thingie. Thats was why I got yelled at.

It was a worthy experience to get that barking at... I do not mis load my backs since being able to own one now some decades later. The thing that calmed my 15 year old nerves and convinced me to continue in photography was he had me hold up a blanket so the sexy 25 year old model could change clothes outside. It was a "Religious Experience" for me at 15 to have a 25 year old "woman" stare straight at me and smile while she stripped buck naked and put on outfit after outfit.

So thanks for the question about loading Hassy backs. It Pops Up great memories in my mind as a youth.

Seems like many of us have missed the paper under the silver thingie the first time. That was my mistake. When I opened the back at rolls end, the paper was torn in two and the film never made it off the supply side spool.

A person won't soon make that mistake again. I wish I had been in your shoes at 15. I might not have waited multi-decades to get a Hasselblad.

Cheers!

I feel cheated! I never has a religious experience like that when loading a Hasselblad!
