...when this happened:
fatwoul said:What camera is that? The camera I always wanted was a Nikon F2 Photomic black body with a 55mm/1.2, and a couple of years ago I was lucky enough to get one, plus it is virtually mint condition. Beautiful camera.
MrNewportCustom said:Incredible shots, fatwoul! What do you use when shooting your close-ups?...
MrNewportCustom said:...Hasselblad 500 C w/80mm Planar lens and 120 6X6 back. A pawn shop buy that I took in for repairs and cleaning. (Had it in my posession for less than an hour. lol) Lens wouldn't stop down...
fatwoul said:Lovely. My sister's boyfriend has a Hasselblad, and we used them occasionally at college. I know of many students who got caught by that thing where if you take the lens off and trip the shutter you have to get inside with a screwdriver to reset it or something. So they're nicely built, but they need better idiot-proofing. lol
I always felt safer with my Mamiya RB67. Far too big and heavy, and not built as nicely, but the idiot-proofing was better, and square format always freaked me out a little. It's such a totally different mindset using 6x6 effectively, and I could never get the hang of it.
Hope your 500C is fixed soon, and we get to see some of the images from it.
MrNewportCustom said:...I used an RB67 in college a few times, and I liked it. A very nice camera...
MrNewportCustom said:...I also once had a opportunity to use a Pentax 6X7. I loved that "pregnant 35", and it's still a dream camera, even if it is a tank. I love the format and the ease of operation. The day I bought the Hasselblad, I saw two Pentax 6X7s in another pawn shop (across the street from the camera store), one for about $1,100.00 (complete, with one additional lens) and the other for $1,900.00 (complete, newer, two additional lenses and more). Some day...
MrNewportCustom said:...I'm still waiting for the camera shop to call with the estimate, but I'll post some images as soon as I can...

MrNewportCustom said:Ahh! The reason for which you needed to translate heiroglyphics. Beautiful, Nick! I'm guessing "fire."

Any faces in this one?:
Maj.Nick Danger said:Thank you Mr.NC,...and yes, your guess is correct. You win! :eusa_clap
(Exactly what, I don't know,...[huh] ,....how about a print when all four are done?)
I've got ideas for the next three, but also a fairly large canvas that I want to do next, so they will have to wait.
