Things have quietened down here lately; so, here is a broad equipment question for those dedicated Hassy V series shooters.
In my 35mm kit I use both SLR (EOS 1vHS) and rangefinder (Leica M7) gear - different horses.....
But in MF my beloved V series Hassy gear is the universe.
However, I wonder what other V series shooters here would select to carry on say a hiking trip, where size and weight of gear do matter - your V series camera? Some other MF camera you own or don't own .... yet!.
BUT, before you answer, there are rules:
1. you must nominate a 120 roll film MF camera;
2. you cannot even nominate an XPan which is IMHO for all intents and purposes really a MF camera that can shoot 35mm frames despite the fact it does not use roll film (Ah Ha, no this is not for discussion here and now!!
)
You must nominate any 120mm roll film camera you like no matter how old or new - one you own and would use in such circumstances, or one you "lust" for.
Now, I do know a wonderful German / Bavarian among us here and that he recently got VERY lucky when he added a marvellous 6x9 camera to his extensive kit, which I am guessing he might just nominate! But I won't spoil things by speaking for him
!
And if you like I'd welcome comments about the lens or lenses you'd pack in that hiking ruck sack too and why.
Cheers,
Simon.
