Odd size mount Omega lens boards, no neg carriers.

Harrison Pup film tent, second hand. I had been using a Paterson dark bag to load my 120 development reels, but last time I used it one of the elasticated double cuffs snapped so I don't trust it anymore. I figured I may as well spend a bit more to get something of higher quality/longevity, and it will also have me covered should I move to 4x5 in the future (something I am considering).

In the past couple of weeks, I added to my medium format arsenal. I had an extension tube for the 80mm f/4 macro. It allows you to do 1:1. A local dealer had a nice 80mm f/4, made him an offer, and got it on Saturday last.

The second was added today from the same dealer. He had a Hasselblad 250mm f/5.6 Sonnar, made in 1973. The longest lens I had for my 500 C/M was a 150mm, so I wanted something a bit longer. It should be here by Saturday. With the weather moderating some, I'll get out later this week to test both.

I wonder what that sold for in 1973.?
Would there have been much "Faster" lens, at that time, of that length, for that camera.?
Thank You

I am about to purchase a 200mm MD/Rokkor MD lens for my X-700's so I can get closer to Lake Michigan splashing up on the rocks so I don't have to get wet.

I was in the local used bookstore, and saw this. I don’t know how useful it is, but for eight bucks, it will be a nice bookend to my nikons (which are mostly the era this book covers.)

I'd hate to think of the 1973 price. I could only dream of Hasselblad in '73. I was still shooting my Petri FT, and still a year, or so, away from a Nikkormat FTn. My medium format camera was a Yashica 635, and I did a bunch of weddings with it. The 250 is fairly inexpensive as far as Hasselblad lenses go. It's not as popular as the shorter focal lengths. This one was made in 1973, evidently right after Hassy converted to black coated lenses. I bought it primarily to have "just in case". I've yet to use my 150mm.

According to what I've read, that was about the fastest of the "250 class" lenses.

A lens hood for my Hasselblad Distagon 40/4 T*. It´s 3D-printed (a bargain in comparison to the prohibitive price for an original one) and came with a lens cover. The lens cover is held by four small magnets in the corners of the hood. Stable and huge, fits nicely on the lens bayonet.

Is there something "Special" about this hood.?
Is there no generic hood to be had.?

I am not knocking your efforts, you did a great job.... just wondering.

The price is "Special", next to the cover. Generic lens hoods (it never had a cover) sell for 150 to 250€ on ebay, the printed version with cover is 40€, without it 20€. It was a quite simple decision.
