Title: (old) Hasselblad 500
Post by: anybody on June 15, 2007, 07:07:09 pm
Hi all,

I know, that this board is mainly about digital Medium Format, but I read for some time at luminous landscape and it seems that the board is on a quite high level, regarding experience of the members.

I am a student (photographic fictions) and want to switch from analogue 35mm to Medium Format. A Hasselblad would be the tool of choice, together with a 50mm, 80mm and 150mm lens. I guess a Hasselblad 500 C/M would be fine, wouldn't it?

Which body can you recommend? Do you know any sources, where to get used Hasselblads from (maybe to a student-friendly price)?

Thank you very much and kind regards from Lake Constance (Germany)

Tom

the very least a 500cm. the older models b4 500cm like the 500c cannot change the prism easily. 500cm is ok. a 503cw or 503cxi can be attach with a motor winder cw.

even old hassy's are quite student unfriendly in their pricing, have you considered other brands?
