Let loose a Rolleiflex?

Packard Motor Company: "Ask the man that owns one."
Hasselblad: "Ask the man that owns one." and "Square is the perfect format."

The Rolleiflex is the camera of good taste and refinement. It is used by well dressed, soft spoken, strong, successful gentlemen and elegant independent ladies.

The Hasselblad (a camera which I've used for over 20 years) is a nice clinical design - the modularity of which allows choice of lenses, viewfinders, film backs, and other accessories, making it a photographic instrument approaching the quality and cleverness of the RB67.

The refined 'click' of the Rolleiflex shutter is reminiscent of a soft unexpected kiss. The "thwump, thwack, click, thwump" of even the newest or most expertly CLA'd Hasselblad is brash, loud, and sometimes unwelcome: like an elevator fart.

I'm touched by the accuracy and lyrical quality of this description -
would make a great signature ...

I love that sound!

Then you must try a motorized Hasselblad and listen to that. My 553ELX was so inexpensive I just had to buy it, though I have no need for motorized filming.

I will say this: the necessary camera body and body-lens synchronization, both by the folks at Hasselblad and Carl Zeiss, shows them to be excellent engineers.

I do not machine gun photographs and I do not want to have to drag the extra weight.

Elevator farts? !!!

“Don’t worry i didn’t take your picture, I’m just ‘priming’ my camera.”

We’re all crank operators, ahem, Rolleiflex or Hasselblad.

Back around 2003 the photographer at my cousin's wedding didn't have a rapid-wind crank on his Hasselblad: he was using the ordinary wind knob. I watched him work - he was very efficient. To wind to the next frame he would tilt the camera up while simultaneously turning the knob clockwise. I think it was even faster than using a crank.

I guess a Harris Tweed in Fishbone will work - do not forget manicured nails and a hairdo in place. Otherwise go for a Hasselblad ...

How do the lyrics takes the shape, when someone shoots with Pentacon Six (Biometar 120/Sonnar 180) or with Holga 120 (no pinhole)

I'm not sure - something like Dederon, Lederol, Wolpryla, Grisuten oder Spezitex ...

What is wrong with elevator farts? Some elevators are great sound chambers.
