Hasselblad SWC is cool

Not sure what you mean because it came up OK when I posted it and it is still up at my end.
Otherwise sorry....

On the RFF homescreen it's coming up with a broken image icon, and when clicked through to Flickr I get this error msg 'Page Not Found Oops! Looks like you followed a bad link.' The BBCode looks fine.

Same result on Firefox and Chrome.

**Actually, looking back through this thread I'm getting the same issue with all your photos (I can see everyone else). Have you changed your Flickr privacy settings?
 
With photos linked from elsewhere, such as Flickr, the photo is "served" from that source each time viewed in the thread or the Gallery, as I understand it. Not physically present on RFF, so if the photo is removed from the source, it won't then appear here...
 
Nice, James! I see Pont Notre Dame and beyond it Notre Dame de Paris from the Left Bank. Digging into musty memories of being there in 1964... :)

The post in this thread by Kornelius Fleischer of Zeiss provides useful information about the recomputed lens used in the 905.

Elsewhere he indicates that all of the most recent Zeiss lenses for Hasselblad had been redesigned with new glass types.

When in the late '80s I was giving some masterclasses on industrial photography for the Hasselblad Belgium Agency, the company technician told me that the only real significant differences ever made in the lens manufacturing by CZ is the adding of the T* coating.
He claimed that the chrome lenses (nonT*) were actually mainly corrected for B&W (different (mono-)chromatic corrections) while the T* C and CF where more corrected for the whole chromatic palette. The CFF didn't exist at the time.
He showed me the difference with two B&W photo's of the same item shot at the same moment, on the same roll (AGFA PAN 100) one with the chrome planar 80mm and one with a T* planar 80mm. The chrome showed a little more wider tonality in the mid- and 3/4 tones. But is was very slight and rather hard to see.
So, if you mainly shoot B&W, and want to 'control' your budget, get the cheaper chrome lenses...
The most important thing to observe is always using the appropriate lens shade (and good servicing with a collimator)!
 
In memory of Mike Collins.

This was (apparently) the first selfie taken in space, shot by Collins with an SWC* inside the Gemini capsule in July 1966.

*I believe this would have been the same SWC that Collins later lost on a spacewalk, inadvertently launching Sweden's 'first satellite'...
 
Pencil Pine and Fagus | Lake Rodway Track

Both of these species are found only in the Tasmanian highlands. Pencil Pines can grow to well over 1000 years old, while Fagus is Australia's only native winter deciduous.

Hasselblad SWC/M and Portra400

Fagus is the genus of beech trees. Is the fagus tree in Tasmania one of these?

The correct name is Nothofagus gunnii, commonly known as Fagus, Decideous Beech and a handful of other names.

Like a lot of Australian species, it looks vaguely similar but doesn’t actually share any relationship with the Northern Hemisphere species it was named after. The Nothofagus genus originated in Gondwana and today species can be found across Australia, New Zealand, New Caledonia, Patagonia etc...
