A newbie, a 500c/m and an 80mm CF

Greetings to you, fine ladies and gentlemen!

A quick introduction is in order - as I've been reading this forum but posted nothing so far. So, I'm a newbie in the world of Hasselblads and medium format photography in general. As you can guess, it's a hobby, not a profession for me, which has started way back using 35mm film in a Pentax ME Super. After a several year pause later steps have been more in the digital domain - and I'll still be shooting with my Nikon DSLR on the side.

Zoom in on today: a 500c/m with an 80mm CF lens and a A12 back + WLF are traveling towards me here in Helsinki, Finland. I'm all set with a 5-pack of slide film and ready for the set to arrive... Exciting times for me ;) And loads of learning to be experienced.

So, all the best to all of you and catch you later on this board,
HRFi
 
Welcome HRFI at hasselblad info forum.

I wish you good light and many excellent pictures with the 500C/M that is on its way to you.

Thank you!

First shots have been taken and I'm thrilled. Yesterday's news to all you pros here obviously - but one giant leap for me ;)
 
It may be yesterdays news for many of us but I am convinced everybody still remembers his or hers first Hasselblad camera.

That camera made a significant change in the photo life for many of us.

The succes of the CFV39 DB shows how loyal users of V series cameras are to their cameras.

I am sure this came as a surprise for Hasselblad management as well.
