Hey Everyone,
My name is Arthur, I am currently working in the film industry as a focus puller. We use both film and digital, though digital more often than not. Anyway, I just bought a Hasselblad 500 CM kit that included an 80mm lens, A12 back and a 45 degree metering prism finder. It didn't have an acute matte viewing screen so I have that on order and a waist level finder. I've been practicing photography for 7 years. I started off shooting 35mm and taught myself through trial and error and then before I knew it digital photography completely took over. When I started I couldn't afford to experiment with medium format. Recently I became a member of a photography club that has 4 darkrooms. The day after I became a member, I started hunting for a medium format camera, I always wanted a Hasselblad 500cm but they were so expensive. Now that they have come way down in price and I make more money, I bought one as a bday present to myself. I love black and white photography, I love everything about shooting film. Don't get me wrong, digital photography is great, but there are still so many things I don't like about it, lack of exposure latitude being one of the biggest.
Anyway glad to join up, and hopefully my next post isn't about a malfunctioning camera or lens. Happy picture making
