I want A Hasselblad. Talk Me Out Of It!

[mshchem]

Apparently, that's a question one needs to ask of a potential Hasselblad purchase too. How many people in this thread have said HB's don't like sitting?

At least it's a fraction of the price of a HB - the amount at risk is fairly low.

It's hard to use the waist level finder with a paperbag over your head so no one knows what you're shooting.

But... no interchangeable film backs... which for me is a must.

You're fussy!

So my wife says...

The things Hasselblad owners need to do...

The things Hasselblad owners need to do...

I keep bumping into things

 

[Andrew O'Neill]

You should cut holes out for the eyes...

And ruin a good bag?

Pinholes?

$300 down the drain is not negligible. Worse yet is if the camera fails during a shoot.

Pinholes?

I'd be afraid I'd poke myself in the eye with the pin.

 

[Andrew O'Neill]

Not if you poke the holes from the inside...

Not if you poke the holes from the inside...

Well yeah, that's one way I guess. Pretty hard to judge spacing inside a dark grocery bag. I suppose I could use my night vision goggles

I trust Matt. Right, Matt? ...Matt?

I neither want nor need another camera system.
You are safe Andrew.
