Dear Victor,
Thank you.
Thank you for devoting your working life to the development of the
camera system that I use. Your influence may wane as times change and the
company that you formed changes with them....but I will still remember and
benefit from your thoughts.
I realise that it was not all you - I have a large number of the
FORUM and HASSELBLAD magazines that your company put out in the
1960's-70's-80's-90's and on and I have noted your designers, production
and
service staff, and manufacturing workers and I recognise that if they had
not been precise, dedicated, and innovative, the complex mechanisms
wouldn't
work.
I must say I am particularly grateful that you did your best to make
all the bits of the system interchangeable. In a modern world that sells
something and then neither supports nor extends it, your product
philosophy
was wonderful. I count 5 different viewfinders in my HB box and they all
fit
everything. My 5 types of HB body all interchange with each other and is I
manage to lose the use of one I am still in the game with the others.
It is a sheer pleasure to see the negatives that come out of the
Hasselblads - clean, sharp, well-spaced, and if I use my brain,
well-exposed. I must use my brain and simple experience to think of the
exposure, but once I bend to it the consistency of the result is really
legendary. No wonder NASA flew them.
If you can still influence the factory - whoever owns it and has it
in hand - whisper into their ears on a dark night not to abandon our
faithful 500 series. We love and trust it and want to get long and good
value out of it.
Uncle Dick
