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 JanetDon'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 --- On Sun, 30/11/08, Bob Adler <rgacpa@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:From: Bob Adler <rgacpa@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: [pure-silver] Re: thinking of trading the Hasselblad To: pure-silver@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Received: Sunday, 30 November, 2008, 6:52 AM 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...

Why doyou keep it onthe tripod? Is it too heavy for you to hand hold? Doyou havetrouble tracking with the waist level finder? Haveyou tried one ofthe 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 fora 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.
