I never had any issues of that type with that camera either. Are you sure you're lining up the arrows on the film to the orange dots?

Plaubel makina 67 Fuji gf670 In my case I stopped bringing so much stuff, and my single camera single lens setup of the 500cm is very reasonable. Basically buy a hasselblad.

I also agree with everything you say with the p67. It's a good camera.

I had the wrong link pasted. It's basically a flip up hood so you can actually see your poo poo. http://www.ebay.com/itm/HASSELBLAD-...EQAAOSwMgdXx1t2 It's also possible to find setups for not significantly more; I paid closer to $750 for mine, I've seen ones here for around that, and once a (pretty tired) 500c with chrome 80mm locally for the equivalent of $550 usd. Realistically it's closer to $900 for a standard 80mm 500cm setup though

Yes I am the other goon who shoots the hasselblad while goon VelociBacon shoots pentax. I also had a pentax in the past. The hasselblad is around 3lb, while the pentax is closer to 5lb with the standard lens. The pentax is just like a big slr, the hasselblad is an slr but it's a different shooting experience because of the ergonomics. The hasselblad is not metered. (mine isn't, at least). You will need a handheld meter. The Pentax has a pentaprism with a meter in it, which is quite accurate. The hasselblad is a leaf shutter, and can flash sync at any shutter speed, unlike the Pentax's 1/30 flash sync speed. However, the hasselblad maxes out at 1/500 shutterspeed, while the pentax gets up to 1/1000. I prefer the ergonomics of the hasselblad for extended shooting. It's light, carrying it diagonally with a strap is comfortable, and the viewfinder is enormous and very bright. The hasselblad is fully mechanical. Many old camera repair guys can still fix them. The pentax is partially electronic, and only a few camera repair guys will fix them. No comments to the pentax normal lens quality as I did not own one with my pentax. The hasselblad normal lens (80mm f2.8) is stunningly good.

girl pants posted:I wouldn't want to spend more than like... Maybe $3-500. Closer to $300 if possible. there are So many systems you could buy for $3-500. The previously mentioned, plus: Mamiya C series TLRs Ricoh TLRs Probably an older Rolleicord TLR Pretty much every folding viewfinder camera (zeiss ikonta, agfa isolette, etc) Those big fuji rangefinders (GW670, GW690) Pretty much every eastern europe MF camera (previously mentioned arax, plus also things like the pentacon and kievs) Pentax 6x7 would be at the higher end of your budget, but it is an unbelievaly good system Probably some of the bronica cameras? Mamiya RB and RZ 67 Basically as long as you aren't expecting a hasselblad, rolleiflex, makina, contax 645, or mamiya 6/7, most systems are very affordable.

My first was the Pentax 6x7. I shot about 4 rolls of film through it before it stopped working. Then I moved onto the fujifilm gw670ii, which helped me discover that I don't like rangefinders. Then I got the hasselblad 500cm and that's where I am now. It's fairly small and light for a modular mf slr camera.

Which did you get, with the Olympus lens? How is the size of the rangefinder, is it old-school-small? How is the image quality? Been thinking about one for a long time.

Sounds like it's time to learn all about the following topics: - 18% grey - spot vs centerweight vs "matrix" metering - how much light is 1 stop - sunny 16 - incident vs reflective - reciprocity failure (if you are shooting at night)

Price no object: gitzo Price is an object: Sirui carbon fiber Price is very important: get more money so you wont have to re buy eventually. Spend the money on a nice ball head and Arca Swiss comparable plates for every camera too.

Saving money on the camera is a false economy. Your big expenses are elsewhere, and also if you cheap out on the camera you’re gonna spend the money on the good thing in the end anyways so just get the good thing now.

V550 is not big enough to do 4x5, you can either scan twice and stitch (ugh) or buy a v700/750/800/850 as suggested above. The light in the 550 is just wide enough for 120 film

also don't just set the black point to the area around your image and call it a day for whitebalance, you won't be getting any good results with that.

You already have the best hasselblad lens so buy a hasselblad to take advantage of it. No other system will take advantage of it. Dont buy a 500c or any of the focal plane models (1600, 1000, 2000, 203, 205, etc). They are all incredibly unreliable and extremelt expensive to repair. Stick to the leaf shutter models (500cm, 501c, 501cm, 503 cx,503 cw, etc) or if you really want, the motor drive models (500el, 500elx, etc) Also keep in mind that yes a hasselblad will be more expensive but if you’re trying to resell it you wont lose much or any money. Other systems will be cheaper but nobody wants to buy a kiev at any price. Its also somewhat easy to find repair and service for a hasselblad. Parts are available and every major city in the western world will have an old guy who can get it serviced. Good luck getting anyone to fix a bronica. What you’ll need is a lens, body, viewfinder or prism (usually comes with the body), and a film back. I think emulsive has a comprehensive guide on the system. I think the best place to start is the 500cm body, a waist level viewfinder, and an a12 back. 80mm f2.8 is the standard lens and it is unbelievably good.

Extra benefits of the 501 and beyond is that you also get the much brighter acute-matte screen by default. The 500c and 500cm screens are not even close to as bright, and the acute-matte is a $250+ upgrade (and the acute-matte D is a $400+ upgrade) Just make sure if you are buying a 501, to check if the seller has actually kept the acute-matte screen with it.

Intrepid is the lightest 4x5 since you’ll realize how poorly made it is and just not carry it around.
