[pure-silver] Re: thinking of trading the Hasselblad

Hi Nicolas, Yeah, I'm thinking of trying some kind of grip for the Hasselblad. When I do, I'll post how it works.

Hi Janet
Don't forget that the handholding ergonomics of your camera can be customised with grips, brackets, etc. There are a lot of options out there. Most medium/large format stuff, no matter who its made by, can be adapted to work with different models of camera. Or you can start sketching things on paper and get someone to fold/weld/ machine you something totally custom out of aluminum/wood/etc. 

Cheers,
Nicolas

Janet,
You should try different ways of hand holding your H before
you sell it.
Try the WLF again; w/o the magnifier flipped up if you like
to frame that way; elbows tucked into your sides; body
pressed against your sternum, tummy or belt.
Try the WLF with the chimney pressed against your forehead
and the magnifier up; left hand under with index finger on
shutter release and right hand focusing and pulling up and
in.
Get a motor winder so you won't have to leave your
eyes.
You won't be the least bit disappointed if you can get
it to work, and from what I'm reading, everything
mentioned will leave a hole in your desire of what you want
in a camera; the H won't...
Best,
Bob

In your original post on this thread you mention that

you don't like

the Hasselblad being confined to the tripod.  Why do

you keep it on

the tripod?  Is it too heavy for you to hand hold?  Do

you have

trouble tracking with the waist level finder?  Have

you tried one of

the prisms for the Hasselblad?


It's not too heavy, but the shape of the thing is
awkward for me to
balance and hold steady.  I have a prism but it isn't
bright enough so
I don't use it.  I use the wlf.  I might look into a
grip for it.




Can you borrow one of your friend's Pentax 67s for

a weekend?

Actually the friend who has it offered for me to take it
for a week,
when she comes home.  It will be a few weeks before that
can happen.
Seems the only complaint I've read (in the Pentax 67
reviews) is that
it's not so good for fast shooting and for handheld.
Those are what I
want... the ability to move quickly, handheld.  I'm
still going to try
it.  I'd love to find that it works well for me, and
for a good price!

Thanks for your reply.

Janet
