I had the C T* lenses before too, they're good-looking retro indeed. But I changed them all to CF anyway, which like Singscott I prefer handling ... But that was not my main concern, C T* and CF have the same lens anyway. David Odess, Hasselblad repairman extraordinaire, says it all :

Wow I thought with so many hasselblad items in the second hand market they never run out of parts. Then that is a very good point to keep CF instead of C or C T* thanks clubgrit

wow. thanks for the good read. cf is indeed better than ct* at closer range and im not surprised due to its modern mechanism. like leica lenses, the modern ones are also out-performers at nearer range to the vintage lenses. haha. but facts aside, I'll die for the retro look. The distagon looks like a martian laser pistol dont you think? :bsmilie:

Well, that can be a good thing too ... if ever one's C or C T lens spoils, one can easily find a replacement, the whole lens that is , maybe repair will cost more, I don't know ...

Indeed lots of used Hasselblads, very sturdy, search on eBay alone and one gets hundreds for sale ...

The group is getting bigger and I think its important everyone have fun. So I ddint touch the Hassy that day, neverthless here is a picture taken with a leica that night if you all dont mind

of course cannot beat the Hassy lah. MP + Elmarit 24 asph + Ektar 100, photoshop to monotone as the colours that night isn't fantastic without the strobe. So BooChap, colour is not wrong, it is deliberate again :bsmilie:

This is an obvious monochrome lahh.. war liew. :bigeyes:

 

[DoveVadar]

hehe. ya loh. just in case you have your shades on again

This is an obvious monochrome lahh.. war liew. :bigeyes:

Can't wait for the 21st so i can get up close and personal with Hasseys ;p
Today walk around peninsula keep looking at all the mini-breadloaf sized hasselblads that are just begging to be put into a messenger bag :lovegrin:

I think one big factor deterring me from going around with the Pentacon 6 is cause it's like a big box (with case). Hard to place into a medium-smallish bag for everyday carry without looking like your bag got a hard-on :devil:

 

[drumma]

got more details about the event on the 21st?

 

[rapier84]

Would be very interested in the March 21st launch too, any details?

Next Saturday, 12 noon @ Shriro House.

Denis will be launching ProFoto's Pro-8A Air generators that goes a whopping 20 flashes per sec max.

Not too sure whether the H3D-II 50mp digital back will be showcased though.

 

[rapier84]

Oh... Thanks for the reply. This sounds great. But is this an invite only event?

[xylestesins]

I would actually have preferred to see the Wayang models rather than swimsuit ones, too bad it's already over. Missed it
