Ok...now what the heck do I do???

It's funny you mention that!!! When I saw the lens, I actually laughed out loud! haha "Hey! Carl Zeiss!" haha I think the guy sold us the camera just to get me the heck away from his table! haha

Ah Morten! there, there.....a nice little smell of Rodinal will help... it will be ok!

Ahhhhhh.....nice! Rodinal fumes in the air...soooooothing and calming!

But I still feel that I deserve a Blasselhad with a Zerl Caiss lens (a very original rubbsih copy....?)
 
Isn't that camera just a fine piece of machinery? Congrats on the new used toy. The book: The Hasselblad Manual by Ernst Wildi is a good start. There are many places on the net to get it. There's a Hasselblad dealer in MN, whose name escapes me right now, that has a good selection of stuff for Hassey (and is a repair site too).

Regards, Art.
 
I'll never forget my first roll of 120 film that I developed. The sight of those big negs with bags of detail that you could see without the aid of a magnifying glass. Welcome to a wider (and squarer) world. I used the 500 both manual and motor driven semi professionally in the late seventies. They were both a delight to use.

I own a Hartblei 88 modified with a Hasselblad Acute Matte focussing screen and adapted to accept genuine Hasselblad backs. Not quite the same expeirience but close(ish)
