Hahah bro... I want my MF experience to be different from RF. Love looking down at the huge prism.

I like this! I didn't know I thought like HCB when I made that decision regading MF!:bsmilie:
But the Bronica 645, Bessa3 & some of the Fuji offering are different!

I think Nasty204 made a good move... bought the Pentax 645 with 2 lenses... and now he can use them with the new Pentax Medium Format Digital!!!!

This was the outing that got many poisoned by MF.
I wasn't at the outing, but I stood firm amid the onslaught.....

It is the MF format....nothing to do with me...Gommy...is time to venture new era...you already have enough play on the RF...almost 100 RF lenses...I doubt if there is anymore new RF lenses to excite you...
...hehe...MF poison injected...
Hahaha... your injection not effective:bsmilie: Immunised liao, MF decision made more than 10 years ago.
And of course, there are still some RF lenses out there..that I'll like to touch & see....

I asked around and was told chrome lenses are older and their performance are not as good as the newer black ones...ooh...I see......
Then while searching for chrome LHSA M-body cover after seeing benny's, I stumbled upon a seller with a chrome LHSA Lux50Asph....Went to look at what other items he has on offer...then I saw tan131's version of the Hassy.
The description was:
"This Hasselblad 500C/M chrome camera outfit is in excellent condition cosmetically, mechanically and optically. ........ very rare and desirable Carl Zeiss 80mm F2.8 Planar chrome C T* lens. Desirable transitional chrome C T* lens. Almost all of the chrome C lenses were non T* but a few manufactured when they started making the black C T* lenses got the T* coating. Highly desired by collectors."
So I thot the difference in performance between chrome & black must be due to T* coating.
This lens is also much more compact compared to those that I've seen.....a plus factor..

To quote ZoomP: "Never say never....."
hookonclassic, Immunization failed.....but the lure was not MF but that chrome lens.
I'm lens-centric....I have a soft spot for lenses.....
DoveVader, no more secret to keep.
CK, sorry I lied when I met you at old man's. Please forgive me. Wanted to keep it under wrap before I make my announcement here.
On 7 April I won the bid! So here it is:
Hassy500CM with chrome C T* Planar80mmf2.8

Welcome to the square world Gommy
Mine is the Chrome CT* Plannar 2.8 too
Oh, one more thing though.. the first batch of 500C/M still used the 500C body but had the interchangable screen function. Maybe that will interest u too
Thanks! Now you know why I was looking for your photo.
Hunted high & low and finally found it in "Share some Japanese lens RF shots 1....":bsmilie:
Yes, my 500CM has the old, more "rounded" contoured body.
I've also changed the focussing screen to Acute Matte D Microprism/Split-image.

And the rest as they say is History....!!!
My Zeiss lenses: I like the older styled "C" lenses more....more compact & has movable DOF scale.
and of course some accessories to complement.
Some of my Hassy accessories:
Doc at last I don't have to keep this secret anymore!!! Congrats again and what a collection you've accumulated the past 2 mths! Welcome! Now some pics please....
