I am beginning to agree. I think I will hold oiff selling my 100mm CF and 50mm
CFLE and continue to shoot film. I will sell some WW2 collectables I have and
but a Canon 5D MIII when uit comes out and a 24-105. My little Nikon CoolScan
9000 seems to do a pretty fare jobs with both B&W and color 6X6 and all my
Hassi stuff is pristine... may as well keep it.

Well I know you may not want to hear this but I like the idea that the prices
are low and i hope they stay that way. I need to get some more lens, I only
have a 60mm and 80mm so I need at least a 150mm or a zoom. I would also like to
get a 903SWC but they are still around 2000.00 an Arcbody or Flexbody one or
the other not both are on my list but they are still to high. I want to know
why you want the prices to go up unless you are going to sell them. I want to
shoot film and so I want to get them as cheap as possible. Just because they
are low priced does not make them cheaply made, they are some of the best
cameras and lens made.

Q.G.
All of the Carl Zeiss/Hasselblad lenses I have - and know of that others have
here in Norway, are in perfect working order. My three lenses (250, 80, and
50) , which I bought myself almost 40 years ago works perfect. A friend of
mine have similar series (150, 80, 50) of these shiny examples from the end of
the 60 - also in perfect condition...
It is the testament to the quality of the Hasselblad gear. I think it is just
a matter of time before prices will go up and the V-series gear will become
collectors items.
