Hello from Jakarta

Hello APUG fellows,

I'm a somewhat young guy (almost reaching 30). Mostly shoot street photography in digital.
And of course, most people in my age probably prefer to shoot anything in digital. Film is dead, right? Heheh.

Curiously, film photography interest me. You know, it's like learning to drive a car. While using the auto will get you to A to B, you'll learn a lot more
using the manual. So, after some research on film cameras, finally I got the Hasselblad 500 CM. Why the Blad?
- 6x6 images looks pleasing on my eyes
- lighter then other system cameras like Mamiya RB,RZ

So, I just started the journey in learning film photography, and hopefully the Blad will make a nice companion.

Welcome to APUG!

I too like the square, shooting with everything from a Bronica SQAi to a Mamiya 6 to TLRs to a Holga. I think we might have a couple of Hasselblad users here.

Welcome: the chemicals may be difficult but home processing should still be possible.

Welcome to APUG

It is obvious to the most casual observer that you are very wise. Only the best rise to Hasselblad.

Welcome to APUG, anta40. We're of similar age. So I'm delighted to see you on that count too.
