I can feel the seller's relief all the way here in Tsawwassen
Did you pay him in model cars?

I'm eyeing other lenses...lenses that were mentioned long ago, in this very thread... and that flex body looks like something that I could use...
@MattKing he showed me many pictures of his model cars. Very, very cool!
I'm off to bed. I'm exhausted.
Tomorrow the fun begins!
I hope my RB doesn't find out!
Yes, loading film holders takes a bit of getting used to. I don't know exactly what style backs came with your 500CM Andy, but if they are all the same style you won't have a problem. I actually like the older "12" backs with the peep window to the newer A12 backs, but that's just me. When I shot weddings I only used A12 backs, but now, for my leisure shooting I like the peep-window backs. Also, if a partial roll of film has sat for a long time in one of my backs I never use the upcoming exposure on anything important. The film will have a "memory bend" formed into it on the first shot from non-use. That's just one design flaw with the backs themselves.Just famliarising myself with it today. I switched out the prism finder and stuck in the waste level finder. Slapped on the Polaroid holder, which still had a couple of sheet in it. Shot them, but as expected, the pods have dried out.
I'll have to practice film loading. It's quite different to my RB...

Oh, I'm not worried about your RB feeling neglected, but I do worry about your wife feeling neglected now that you have a new toy. Maybe you should share your toy with her?
I guess as a group we are a collective failure; we didn't talk you out of it per your request.
I was able to find a pdf of the 7th (2018) edition online.

I have the 1989 3rd edition and still reference it from time to time. This is a very thorough Hasselblad book that gives you everything you need to know about the cameras and all the goodies that were made for them. It is a "must have" for sure.I was able to find a pdf of the 7th (2018) edition online.

I found it through a search. https://modusdever.com/assets/ErnstWildi-TheHasselbladManual-7edition-2018.pdfDo you have a link or did you mean it can be purchased on line?

I thought Modus deVer was a Portuguese photo site.Given that this is a bootleg site, I'd be wary of anything downloaded from there. These sites are notorious for their propagation of malware and viri.

Or don't steal IP
I think, at this point you would need a non descript white Chevy van with a sliding metal door. Whisk Analogue Andy off to a de-programming camp for 6 months of training. Maybe somewhere in Iowa.
