This is just a basic walkthrough of various aspects of the Hasselblad 500 (V-Series) medium format cameras... some things to know if you get one -- like how the interlocks work, quirks and features.

I couldn't find a video like this on youtube, so I thought I'd put one out there. It's unscripted so it may be a little wander-ey.
