Pros: the perfect mechanics, the possibility of having magazines from 24 exposures, to have perfect and bright Maf slides, and the pentaprism with 45 degree viewfinder.

Cons: at the time the price but it was worth it

Opinion: I had two 500 c/m one with 50 mm Planar and one with 100 mm Planar I used for weddings both with pentaprism, magazines of 12 and 24 always loaded with hasselblad made about 400 weddings. They were heavy certainly, one around the neck the other in hand with the Flash metz with battery on the shoulder, an ordeal to bear but they were satisfactions. when on Wednesday or Thursday the laboratories delivered the negatives to us it was fantastic to see the work done with these cameras, also because I had arrived at these after a few years with the Rollei bioptic, then moved on to the Mamiya 6x4.5 and finally to the top of the top the Hasselblad

Pros: All the good things that have been written by those who have preceded me.

Cons: Nothing... (forgivable noise, considering the 'not discreet' professional vocation).

Opinion: In hindsight, I wish I had owned one less Leica R and one more Hasselblad C/M, instead of having borrowed it on various occasions. For my taste, the ergonomics of the 'cube' are fabulous for the set portrait. Regardless of the noise, which however must be evaluated according to the congenial contexts of the device, my 'artistic vocation' would have benefited...

Pros: It's always her... wherever you look at it expresses beauty and solidity

Cons: not having taken it back before

Opinion: I had it from 1987 to 1988... sold x economic reasons I have always promised to buy it back ... well... the time has come... found by RCE beautiful, overhauled... with 50 and 150 black t*... just loading the first roller was an emotion ... only the scent of the emulsion makes you go back to youth

Pros: Modularity. Mechanical. Construction. Aesthetic. Sound. Versatility. Weight.

Cons: At one time maybe the price. now not even that.

Opinion: My mother gave me this car when I started having a wedding as a boy. They told us it was the best car and I took it maybe with a bit of lightness. It actually took me years before I stopped being intimidated by the medium. Everyone with photography has his own relationship that you want to do. Years later, while I was in full acquisition syndrome and a little gnawing that I couldn't take a medium a little embanked https://www.juzaphoto.com/topic2.php?l=it&show=last&t=2612962#19260433 at one point I said to myself, "Hey, but I have a hassy in the closet. who cares to take the last cry of a modern medium?" was a joy. the first rollers thrown, I think it's inevitable. but getting familiar with the approach that it requires for me is simply the PERFECT machine. Apart from that it's a poem just to see it and touch it, to use it, to feel it, to take amazing photos. everyone uses it for landscapes and study I make a very street use of it, as a battle. its modularity is proverbial. mechanically stainless, infallible. the lenses that are now very little for me are still extraordinary. I mount them on sigma fp and at 24mp they crop a bit but they have an extraordinary solvency. to the touch are sassi. along with the 80 I also took the mythical 150 and 50 first version hope one day to take even the 40fc. are extraordinary lenses. Precise. the soft, precise, never nervous blurry. a machine full of genius that is slowly discovered. I can't help it anymore. I continue to use the nikon when I need a lot of shots but there is no comparison, the negative of a 6X6 and this machine in particular is another thing. 35mm can't get there. beautiful to use, to see, perfect results. for me the absolute number 1. I give her 10 because I can't think of anything but perfection when I think about it. Ansel Adams used it. For me, those who approach film photography must definitely evaluate this medium. it's a machine that makes you think before you take a picture, sure, but it's much less cumbersome than it may seem in the first 5 rollers, in fact, it's a machine that asks for respect and understands it but then assists you, to prevent you from doing big or small damage. even in the event of a collision. Victor at the first presentation in New York asked bystanders to drop it to show its resistance. Volvo style. If Nasa used it for fake landing manfrina it's because it was and is the most reliable camera produced by the human mind. It's a shame that they have abandoned the wonderful digital benches, it would be nice if a company could make the actual 6x6 sensor coming to a super format and especially without cropping the lenses. which is a crime especially when it comes to the wideangles, the first with that sharp corner to corner, without the slightest shadow of vignette even at TA (reason why we did not go to the moon, where instead in the photos there is an obvious fall off of side light typical of artificially lit scenes. the debunkers say that it is the fault of the Zeiss lenses for the V System. but those who use them know that it is a blasphemy to try. And the canvases, with those slow and precise fires, that wonderful system to immediately understand the depth of field by taking a look at the area and shifting the times without changing the diaphragm, if in the first roller they seem to you accessories maybe not even so welcome then you begin to understand its meaning. you have to remove the lens with the charged machine otherwise it won't come back. it sounds like a joke but it is so. If you have a doubt about this machine, take it off. and if the photos don't come good to you, it means you didn't have something interesting enough in front of you. because she doesn't lie. he's not wrong. If the aliens were to land and we had to explain the photograph to them, they should be shown the Hasselblad.

Pros: Everything from construction to the final image

Cons: Create dependency

Opinion: It is not a tip and snaps (trivial observation), it really forces you to think, but the use becomes a rite almost a religion. Then it's hard to miss photos, not because it's easy to do the opposite: it's so hard, it forces you so much to think that you can't not care about the image (also because an unprinted shot, just roller and development - in the lab not in the house - costs about 1.5 euros , equal to 9 euros per roller). It's cumbersome and heavy, you probably don't go to street (let's discuss it, class is not fast, it takes a slowed street), but the results.
