At X'mas time I have to pay a lot for family and other thing. With this money I could buy 80% of a CFV-39. On other hand I received borowin gifts witch value allows to buy one box of five 220 fujichrom films.
However I offer for my self a Manfrotto stativ modopocket ma 797 I allready tried for funy night pictures with my V. As I allways prefer to give than recieve it's Great.

My wife gave me some nice sweaters, shirts, pants etc....but no new Hasselblad V or H series gear. Not that I had asked for any (I'm more interested in a new Epson 3880 or 4880 printer at the moment).
Even so, I did slip a few items into my Christmas stocking.....I ordered several of the Hasselbald tripod quick coupling plates to use with my Pentax 67 and Mamiya TLR cameras. It's nice to have the same plates on all of my medium format cameras so they can all be mounted on my Gitzo tripod with the Hasselblad quick coupler.

Really Right Stuff L bracket.
Well, I bought nothing. But right in time I received a parcel that contained the first Hasselblad 1600F that I ever bought some time ago and which was extremely difficult to repair because it suffered from a missing tooth on a gear, a hole in the shutter and some other problems. Now it is back in working condition. And also beautiful again. Thanks to the magic hands and patience of my repairman and thanks to a recently surfaced box of ancient Hasselblad wrecks which served as parts donors. The 1600F was accompanied by two 1000F cameras which also required more than just a "simple" CLA to be back in service.
These three wonders were more than enough for Christmas!

Hello Ulrik,
What should not be forgotten is the persistence of the owner to get these pieces of Hasselblad history back to working order.
The repair man who made this all happen is a God sent gift for owners of older Hasselblads.
His patience and craftsmanship are second to none.
Ulrik and others know how much problems I have with K... cameras but these ill constructed monsters taught this repairman not to give in and keep trying.
By now he does not want to have anything to do with K... cameras.
Although difficult and stubborn at times Hasselblad cameras deserve the efforts to repair them.
In the end a good and reliable camera is handed back to the owner.
Congratulations are in order!

I just learned that the factory of the K... cameras closed this year. And I also learned that they just recently must have invested in expensive tools for their bodies as their latest (and last) products seem to be quite nice. They even used space age materials to reduce friction for the shutter curtains.

Hm, looks like the T34's must have gone out of fashion then?
