I noticed that the Aveenu sunblock advertizement on TV features a Hasselblad 5XX with a waist level finder and film back being used by a young woman taking photographs of flowers.

Hasseys Rule!

Been really admiring that camera for a couple of weeks now.

Christopher give in. The force of the darkslide strong it is. Resistance futile is!

First ask your significant other how she feels about your giving in to the lure of a young woman taking photographs of flowers.

There's a woman?

My girlfriend has been around me long enough that she spotted the Hassie before I did. But perhaps I was slightly distracted. By the flowers, of course.

She thought that the woman was beautiful too.

When I tell her that I am thinking of buy another lens for the Hasselblad or another 35mm camera, she saids, "If you want it, get it. You deserve to get what you want in life now."

I do not now how long the relationship will last with this girl friend. We have never had a fight, but we have only been together eight years.

A Hasselblad was also a big part of the TV cop show Southland.

One of the cops wives' begged him for a camera, which on the show he paid $2000 for.
The next show, she was seen wandering around LA with it.

Kind of neat.

Is there any possibility to see the spot on the internet?

Good morning;

From the comments, it seems that there is something worthwhile viewing on the Square Eye. Alas, I no longer have one of those, so for me, the shift to HDTV is not a problem. However, it is impressive that the NTSC system ran for over 70 years. (For people who may not be familiar with the acronym, the working definition was "Never Twice the Same Color.")

From the days of my youth, I recall that some of the best writing on television was in the commercials. Perhaps that is still true.
