Hello all, I am new to this forum, but not to MF - I started with a Hasselblad 503 CX 35 yrs ago, after some years of 135 photography. Instead I always dreamed of 120 until I could afford a brand new Hassi with a 80mm Planar and a A12 magazine. Later a 180mm Sonnar and a additional magazine found their way to my camera bag. Unfortunately I quit MF in the early 2000s for a digital fullframe (Nikon D 100). After a couple of years I came back to the roots with a used 500 C/M, a digital back (CFV-50c) and some lenses from 40 to 250mm. Meanwhile I have a 907x/50 and use the back on my old 500 C/M and since March also a X2D with 21, 28P, 45P and 75P lenses. On my wishlist there is a 35-100 or a 135 w/conv, but my wife says I am gone totally crazy ...
We'll see what future brings. I still use film on my 500 C/M and really love it although it's clear that digital photography is state of the art. But grain has some charming moments too... especially in b/w. I wish to read/meet some interesting threads and photographers around here. I love nature, macro, landscape, my dogs and travel. A day without a photo is somehow a lost day. Good luck to all.
