Some great pics posted but I REALLY like these. Something special about the colour and composition that really grabs me.

I love the Hassy! One of the best cameras ever. I got mine less than a year ago and immediately knew it will occupy a permanent place in my gear dcollection. Will never do without it.

Thanks for the advice. I think I will leave it for the moment. It only happens when the light is low, and I can compensate with DOF.

Thanks Chris!
The difference is only cosmetic - the transition models have all the functionality of the full C/M model, which amounts to having interchangeable focusing screens. A number of these were built before the accessory railing plates that said "500 C/M" were widely available. They were sold as "500 C" cameras. Mine dates to 1972.

Todd,
Both were taken with the 80mm Planar and 21mm Extension ring - a favorite combo.
Thanks for the nice comment!

monochromejrnl,
spectacular, 1962 huh, been looking at a "seasoned" model like yours but was told to stay away from the older SWC's. Your performs very well it seems

thanks Todd, the one I have is a non T* biogon and it has a reputation for being more flare prone than the modern coated versions.. I have not found this to be a problem for me. I bought an aftermarket metal hood on eb*y and I rarely use filters. Contrast and colour rendition is excellent. Having said that I haven't had the pleasure of using a modern SWC to compare against mine but I'm not fussed. The older ones are much, more affordable. I got mine a few years ago (it has been modified with a hacksaw to make it polaroid compatible ;P) for a very reasonable $1500CAD.
Get one, you won't regret it. It's a very versatile camera once you experiment with it.
Below is a shot that exhibits some flare and another used close-up.

monochromejrnl:: respect!
Heres another new scan:kids on the street selling me tissues which I have no use for. Instead, I asked them to pose for me and bought them each a Turkish Ice-cream from Konah. Very fair trade... 20LIRA!
