Hasselblad 500

I have just become the proud owner of my very first Hasselblad camera, a 500 C/M which I bought this week. It's a great system and a premium marque in photographic terms. Hasselblad is the tool of photography masters, and I am really looking forward to mastering this wonderful medium format camera.

Used Hasselblad 500

Since I have not yet done more than look through the finder and admire the quality of the build on the lenses, I have create this page as a marker to come back to when I am able to do a proper user review of the Hasselblad 500 C/M.

In the meantime, I will simply thank the kind gentleman in Twickenham, who having retired has thoughtfully passed on his equipment to someone else so they too may enjoy the quality 'Rolls Royce' of cameras makers. In addition to the body, I got an 80mm, 50mm and 150 lens. More about them later.
