If you read my last post, you know that I was testing out a 1976 Hasselblad 500 C/M.
The results are in.
Not too shabby. This is looking more and more like it might be the next camera added to my collection.
I shot one roll of 120 Kodak TMAX 100. The only problem was that I was running that through a Hasselblad A24 back , designed for 220 film. It seems like the first few frames didn’t wind fully and overlapped. Afterward, it was fine.
I’m excited to get this camera and push it to its limits. Hasselblads are rugged imaging devices. They’ve been to the Moon and I think I can find a way to put this one under just as much stress as space travel. I look forward to posting more images from this camera.
YESSS! The right instrument in the right hands with the right eye behind the viewfinder! First time out of the bag – not too shabby indeed.
Look forward to seeing more.
Wasn’t the Hassleblad Stieglitz favourite?
Hope it finds its way underneath your Christmas tree … :))
