@Mafiyoso Your camera shouldn't allow you to even push the shutter button if the dark slide is in, if you can take pictures with the dark slide in your camera is broken.
it is a nice camera you got there, I myself have just bought a 500C / M and using it much. but will just say as a comment to you if you release the camera shutter before the lens shutter is complete, both camera and lens not work well anymore. it would indeed be sad! best regards Jules
I think you've inspired me to make a video like this with my Hasselblad. I like how you filmed it and added the photos. What film did you use for these?
Until I fully understand how to use my exposure meter when I am taking pictures with my Hasselblad 500CM, I use my 35mm camera with it's metering system then just set my Hasselblad to that setting. Now I am trying to do double exposure with my Hasselblad. Right now I primarily use 70mm perforated film. It's been expired for awhile, but I keep my 100' rolls frozen until I need them, then let a roll thaw for 4 days before doing my bulk loading.
@l33thustla you get much better quality with medium format film.
scan a 6x6cm negative at 4800dpi - which isn't even that high - and you end up with what would be described as as 128 Megapixel image if it was a digital camera - enough to print at 300dpi and still have an image that was nearly a meter square - and amazingly sharp to boot

nice video! and it's cool to see both the process and the outcome. but how can you live with a crank? the camera feels like a windup toy this way for me =D
@MasterGeorge All Hasselblad cameras and film magazines, bear a two or three letter code in front of, or incorporated into, the serial number. Two of these letters are used to encrypt the year of manufacture. The key to translate these letters to digits is the word VHPICTURES, in which "V" stands for 1, "H" = 2, etc.
The digits indicate the decennium and year in which the item was produced.
For instance, a camera carrying the 'date code' "ER" was produced in 98, or 1998 ("E" = 9, "R" = 8).
what tripod were you using?

Your photos at the end are great. These cameras have a way of making scenes like that look vintage. I love medium format so much.

what is that flat panel you put in the side at 1:56?
Ziggys91 2 years ago
It's a dark slide. It blocks the film so that I can pull off the back and attach others without exposing the film.

oo oke, thanks!

@MasterGeorge Isn't it easy to forget it in the camera and take pictures without exposing the film?

Oh yeah, although for the most part I've been pretty good about remembering that.

@MasterGeorge that response about keeping the dark slide in doesn't make any sense...if the dark slide is in, you can't take a picture.

@Mafiyoso you can't, the camera wont let you take a photo while the dark slide is still in place. the shutter release locks.

Man that camera looks old school. How old is it?
The shots came out nice looking as well.

Not sure exactly although the C/M model was apparently started in 1970. (the earlier 500s started in 1957)

@MasterGeorge actually you should be able to tell the age by the two letters in front of the serial number.
V=1 H=2 P=3 I=4 C=5 T=6 U=7 R=8 E=9 S=0
For example, mine is USXXXXXXX, meaning it was made in 1970
