Hi from Plymouth (the original).

[Ed Bray]

Hi All,

I have joined your forums to become part of your community and join in with my love of Hasselblad items.

I have been involved with Photography since 1979 and have been a full time professional social photographer for a number of those years. I have also been a photographic tutor at evening clases locally.

During my professional career I used a pair of 500CMs with 50, 80 and 150mm lenses which served me well for a number of years prior to my selling them.

I currently have a nice digital Canon outfit with a 1DsMk3 and a number of L lenses, but when I was offered a very nice condition black 500CM, A12 Back with 80mm Planar C T* and PM-E3 prism as a swap for my Canon 100mm L Macro lens the lure of owning a Blad again became just too much.

I have since added a further A12 Black back and a 150mm Sonnar f4 C T*. Yesterday I also managed to win on ebay for a steal a 50mm Distagon C T* with a 503CX and WLF but this has not arrived yet.

I have also received today the 10 rolls of XP2 super so am good to go for the weekend to put a couple of rolls through the cameras.

Hello Ed,

Welcome back to Hasselblad and MF photography.
You are not the first and most probably not the last to do so.

Enjoy this forum and do not forget to show us samples of your work.
Do not forget to take a look at the classified section of the forum should you decide to buy or sell Hasselblad gear.

New kit (to me anyway) assembled. Off to shoot some film this weekend.
