>Do you suppose that if we all signed a petition to Hasselblad, they would
donate some cameras for the use of list members?
absolutely.
why on earth would they not?
mmmm... a Digital Hasselblad...
the Mind Boggles.
back in my Misspent Youth i only could afford the Nikon knockoff --a Bronica
2.25".
took lovely shots, but had a focal plane shutter, which meant that the thing
went off like a damnéd train wreck when you pressed the shutter release
(rather than the whispering swish of the in-the-lens leaf shutter of the
Hassleblad).
which meant that there was considerable camera movement --even when tripoded--
if the shutter speed was below about 1/250th.
of course, i didn't discover that little feature until i got home with all the
rolls i had taken during the summer in France and started printing them out.
turns out, that's just a corollary to the "law of nature specifying that
disasters happen to our most difficult-to-get shots," and should have been
expected.
