    My favorite camera. They would make millions if they were to produce and sell them again.
  • Absolutely one of a kind camera. I am not how they could pull of this level engineering .
  • @extremelydave
    This is still the smartest, most informative camera/film site out here. Another great video Nico. So glad I found you!
  • The T-mode has one extra “feature”. When in the lens is in bulb mode and the shutter is switched to T the lens shutter will be open until you switch the switch on the shutter button from T to O. Very convenient for long exposures.
  • Thank you for showing us this. Now I have a better understanding of my hasselblad
  • Thanks Nico, I own a 500cm and still learned a couple of things.
  • @tor2919
    Greatest camera of all time.
  • @gyomu
    Very nice explanation. Hopefully I need it soon 🎉
  • @sam.halljr
    Thank you so much for another incredibly valuable video!
  • @liochang
    This is one of the best tutorials I’ve seen. Great job.
  • @Milan-eu4kp
    Thanks for the fast and very effective video😁
  • @SD_Alias
    Best looking and best sounding middleformat camera. Unfortunately Hasselblad did never build a 6x9 Version. So i bought a Fuji G690 in the 80ies
  • @magicpix6587
    Thank you for this great video. I see dust particles through the focus loupe, the lens is clean, how can I remove them ? Will they appear in photos ? Thank you for your help
  • Hola Nico. Aprovecho y te pregunto, porque a mi me pasó que activé el mirror lock up, y antes de disparar moví accidentalmente la escena y necesité volver a reencuadrar. No encontré la forma de volver atrás y perdí el frame. En le video indicás que podés sacar el respaldo. Yo tengo una 500C, y no pude hacerlo, ya que no pude poner el dark slide...
  • Here is my version of how to use the Hasselblad pick it up make sure the film is advanced, look down the view finder at your subject matter click the button and you’ve taken a photograph it’s that simple
