Medium Format - Large Camera - Hasselblad 500C/M

[royalrat]

It was a very exciting moment when Yael showed me her Medium format camera – The magnificent Hasselblad 500C/M. She bought it about ten years ago because her teacher at Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem told his Photography students they must own a Medium format camera. It was a great expanse for a student, and it took her many years to appreciate it as an asset. Nowadays, though rarely used, Yael’s Hasselblad has a place of honor in her closet, and every now and then, when the muse is right, she takes it for a walk & shot. I was honored to borrow it from her, and immediately thought of ways I can make the best of the two weeks we are going to spend together.

After two weeks, you won't want to return it. 🙂

I think this thread needs to be moved ;p.

Certainly not a half-frame or sub-miniature, unless you're a died-in-the-wool large format shooter!
