any videos of using these cameras w/ a CFV digital back? If so, please post one

@alexisgc33 No, sorry, but I have a CFV digital back being sold on eBay right now. Just type in "Hasselblad CFV 16 megapixel" at eBay you should see it under the seller name Spiritandtruth. Go check it out.

This guy sounds annoyed the whole time

[SpiritandtruthBlad]

@800runna1 You know...when I played back the video and heard myself I thought I sounded bad too.  Sounded as if I am a know it all or something but I certainly did not intend to so I apologize. I hope to make another one before too long and hopefully I'll sound a little nicer the next time so thanks for chiming in and calling me out.

Sorry for the stupid question, but I was told that you need to rotate the film manually after taking the shot, as Hassel doesn't do it automatically. I've just sent a film to a friend to get it developed. And I'm already upset...

[SpiritandtruthBlad]

@Rinraen Hello, you have to press the shutter release button & then rotate the "BIG" crank on the side of the body to advance the film. U do NOT have to rotate the little crank each time on the magazine. U only use that little crank on the side of the mag to get the film started when you load it & then to crank the film to the end of the roll when ur done shooting. U had to of cranked the camera each time after you took a shot or else it will not let you shoot again so you should be fine.

I know that the Hasselblad 500cm take the standard size cable release but i've heard that not all cable releases work with Hasselblad. Is thais true? If so what should i be looking for when buying one for my 500cm?

I must need to say thank to you as I just got my first hasselblad camera (500cm) but I reli cant figure out how can use it. With your detail description I sure I can work on it.

Thanks!

Hi! Very good vid ! Don`t worry ! It`s natural reaction on Hasselblad : Every time I see Hassy I also get very irritated because it has unnatural 6 / 6 square format , unreasonably expensive and capriciously flimsy. Please , make vid on Mamiya 67RZ and You feel very good and satisfied. Cheers

thank you very much I recently got hooked on medium format after buying a yashica-mat, and decided to invest in a hasselblad 500elm. This video helped alot learning the basics. Thanks!

@SpiritandtruthBlad Ha, I was just joking, very informative video. Looking to get one of these.
