I want A Hasselblad. Talk Me Out Of It!

So if you're flying 4600 km, at 450 knots into a 30mph (statute) head wind, with a fuel burn of 21 kg/100 miles at 21,000 feet MSL, 19,032 above AGL where can you eat for $200 USD, before 16:30 UTC? Current exchange rate 17.3 CUP to 1 CAD. Remember to act Canadian if you want to get by without tipping so to stand in solidarity with your fellow Americano Norte' against the Yankee Imperialists!

Like photography class, show your work.

Avogadro was Cuban?

Hello, new guy here, just signed up for photrio a few days ago so this is my first post but I’ve been in to photography since the late 70s on and off since then.

Got a 501 C/M and a few lenses a couple of years ago because I’m retired now and had to scratch that one last itch I had.

I haven’t heard it mentioned yet in this thread, but as the 500 series is a “system” with a lot of various accessories, I found “The Hasselblad Compendium” by Richard Nordin, to be invaluable to describe what components are available, what they do and what are compatible with which cameras. I got the last edition, published in 2012. Maybe this isn’t needed for everyone, but I found it very helpful in understanding the system as a whole.

I truly love the fact that you can look up an accessory by number. I just got a 42459 viewfinder magnifier that will help these aging eyes find that perfect focus. It is such a cool system!

Yes these really are great. Especially when you have the camera on a tripod.
