These used different lens mounts and focal plane shutters, as opposed to an in-lens Compur shutter. Hasselblad had previously created the 1000F and 1600F series prior. It came from Sweden and that makes it awesome, like Volvo and SAAB. There are magazines available for 220 film, 70mm film and Polaroid sheets, we well as image format support for 6×4.5 (portrait and landscape), and the 4x4cm “super slide”. The basic system (with A12 film magazine), produces 12 6×6 negatives on 120 roll film. The 500 c/m is the “modified” version of the original 500C, the main difference between the “C” and “C/M” is the fact that the focus screen can be easily switched out for one of many different versions by the user without requiring the help of a technician. The basic 500C/M setup starts with the 500C/M body, an 80mm f/2.8 Planar Zeiss lens with T* coating, an A12 film back, waist level finder and ground glass focus screen. The Hasselblad 500 series is a modular camera system. And that camera went away to be replaced by my long time personal holy grail, a Hasselblad 500C/M.īefore I get into that, here’s what’s covered in this article: At which point I came to the conclusion that an iPhone does the same thing as a digital SLR only in a more accessible manner. My next purchase was a Nikon digital SLR ( DX format, waste of a sensor IMHO). The Mamiya got sold on and my shooting went dormant. In retrospect it may have been the well-used Weston exposure meter more than the camera. I collected a series of lenses for it but was never really comfortable with the camera. The C330 is a brick of a camera with bellows and interchangeable lenses – a rarity in TLR cameras – and a parallax/exposure indicator bar. With my questionable logic being “when your images are less than awe inspiring it must be the camera that needs replacing”, I bid and won. Searching through eBay at around that time for more lenses (because one can never have enough), I came across a Mamiya C330 TLR. Then I took the camera off the P setting and the world opened up.
