I feel your pain. I built up a system myself in the last couple of years - I'm headed in the other direction! Helps to have a CFV for color, film for B&W.
Wait what's this now famous naked butt thing?
You will have to search back quite a few years. It is not a sight for sore eyes, rather a sight that makes eyes sore.
He is standing in a cold Canadian stream with a camera and tripod composing a photograph while he is sans pants.His wife took that photograph and he posted it on APUG. The wise ones shall seek no further; the stones will boldly roll through the archives and will find the photograph that will cause cookies to be tossed by people of all ages.
Found it yesterday haha, it's not so bad, gave me ideas for a Photoshoot actually hah!
So are you going to repost it for old time sake? :munch:
Hey if anyone wants to see it, it's not all that hard to find. I took it all off cuz if I slipped and dumped myself in the water, which would not be unusual for me, then I would have to spend the rest of the day hiking in wet undies. Yuk!
We are talking about a camera, right?
Hasselblad isnot justa camera; it's a way of life and a serious love affair. I hug mine every night;nothing loves you like your blad.with that camera, you're never alone;seriously,there is something special about it; just hold one in your hand and you'll know what I'm talking about.
Yes, there is, RL. It is special. But then the shutter trips and that big jump in my hands makes my heart sink. So I'm working on cultivating a relationship with my ELM. It's big and heavy, but it holds still. And in my better senses, I realize that's ALL that is important. That's why my C/M is on the way out the door. I'll not have a camera that jumps like a bullfrog when I trip it. (yes, all new foam)
I had an RB, but got rid of it pretty quick. It hesitates between the trip and the action, and expressions on people can change in that long instant. Had it happen a couple times. Weird expressions on people's faces in the picture that weren't there when I first pushed the button.
Me either...Strange, no delay for me on the RZ
The Hasselblad C C/M vibration situation has been a subject of much discussion on this site, among others, and was even noted by Adams. It IS a definite problem. I've sidestepped the problem by switching over to my ELM. The weight of the motor/battery dampens these vibrations down to practically nothing. Besides, I'm familiar with the mechanism. There's a little pin on the interior gear that pushed the mirror up to its final position AFTER the initial slap-and-bounce, and BEFORE the shutter actually trips. What happens is that the mirror does the customary slap, then bounces back a wee bit, then the pin comes around a tad, forcing the mirror back up, then the shutter trips. No vibration. Along with the dampening of its weight, it's just about as good as a Rolleiflex.
Cheaper, too. EL's and ELM's can be bought with pocket change nearly.
I shoot my CM last weekend loaded with 400 speed b&w and with the 150 Sonnar mounted. Handheld with a grip. Mostly photos of my family at a picnic in a local botanical gardens. Almost everything shot at f/5.6 and 1/250th. If there was vibration issues I certainly cannot see any effect. Negs are tack sharp.

I repeat my question. What in your prints is not satisfying, attributable to the mirror?
Call it confidence and security. Add my natural shake to the camera's, and I can't be at ease till the film comes back. My ELM is like a rock, and my C/M is like a bullfrog.

At 250th of a second you shouldn't have any vibration issues, it's the 1/60 or 1/125 that people are worried about, sometimes people want more of the shot in focus, can't always go to f/5.6...
I have found with my 503CX that the vibration situation exists only in the internet ethernet or in the minds of those who insist that the only real camera is a range finder camera. The Hasselblad vibration situation does not exist in the real world. I have used the 250mm hand held for a 1/250 second exposure and I cannot find any blur from the vibration on the negative when greatly enlarged.
The guys who engineered the Hasselblad cameras were no dummies.
