Run the Spell Checker on the title ??

Thank you - photography is too much fun to be legal😅

We should collect some money to buy you a wire-release 😅 even if it propably wouldn't make much of a difference with these focal length and on a solid tripod. I'm a bit disappointed there really is no summary of the pros and cons of both in this series. There is some words in the studio-part but mostly about the problems with firing the flash. I am currently building a new system around a GS-1 (6x7 at last) after many years with hasselblad and so far don't find more negative or positive things to say about either one. I

It's really refreshing to find someone talking about the problems with using old gear and what you are really up to when you are getting into analogue photography even if you are a well seasoned professionell and know how to handle them. On other channels on YT all seems to be fruits and flowers and no mention of the thorns and weeds of the business. With respect to the flash not firing the synchro-contacts on the CF lenses are known to fail among other things. I used Hasselblad 500 and 2000 (love those) for 15 years and had several visits to the workshop this problem included and in 2012 sold them out of frustration when I ended up with a camera on a wonderful beach and two backs which both failed completely. The SQb otoh may be the most realiable bronica as it has simplified and well refined electronics and was one of the late models. But buying old bronicas can be fun too. My GS-1 keeps me busy right now with strange readings from the AE-prism, probably faulty/dirty contacts, we will see.

That's what I'm talking about, Stan! The details is incredible but with film true skin looks so much nicer, without that harshness of digital. Great video, my friend

The Planar is a magic lenses. I would like to mount the Planar on the Bronica ah ah !!!

...OK.der Fotograf versteht sein Handwerk -- aber das Modell ist super Sexy...😍

Bronica SQ-B forever, same quality than Hasselblad, at 1/4 of money

Is OM 1 good for beginners? Or is too complicated to use?

way too much fun indeed!!!

Stan your blogs about shooting with analog cameras are great. It's a pity that so little. You should go back to the source. This photography is and will always be above digital photography👍

but this city is extremely romantic and has wonderful Art Nouveau architecture. Clean, calm, slightly magical. And I see there are palm trees. The state when you record something again. Your blogs have a very calming nature. This is also thanks to your low, warm voice. Record something, dear sir, if your health allows. It's a shame to get out of practice. Regards

I know it's a five year old video but I still have the Em1X and the 12 to 100mm. I do like how the camera feels in my hand and for a camera this age also very decent in terms of features, but i just can stand the image quality these tiny MFT sensor produces, it's pretty bad even 5 year before when compare to those FF back then, so i pretty abandoned this system and never look back. I am just surprised after 5 year they still can't get much better with the latest Om1 MK II, the only difference I saw is they think they are the next LEICA and have the guts to charge us $2700 for the 150 to 600 mm lens. 😀😀😀😀😀

My S2A arrived last week with the Nikkor 75mm f/2.8 standard lens. The test roll came back good so the camera is functional. I have more testing to do. But... This is my first 6x6 medium format camera. I also have a Pentax 645Nii in my inventory that needs some love, but I think I like the square format better. Nonetheless, the experience of working with the Bronica is very, very cool. I love the mechanical nature of the camera and its size requires me to slow down. I've been shooting XP2 because it is easy to get developed locally. But I'll switch over to real black and white film soon. I'm traveling, so my tanks and tools are at home. But I can still send the exposed rolls to a professional developer, retrieve the scans via the Internet, and have the negatives sent home. I can scan myself later. I wanted a Hassy, but the price put it out of reach for me. I think that's OK, though. The Bronica is not really second place. Thanks for the video. The model was a hoot, too. I could tell she was having fun as well as working.

The Hasselblad lenses are made in Germany and are far more expensive the Bronica Lenses and I had no problem with the Bronica cameras or the lenses and I had good results and was happy

I used to have the Bronica ETRs and it has a good reliability of allowing you to take photos inside studio and the use of the studio flash photography is always works well

I think if your intention is film only, either the Bronica or the Hassy is fine. Of course if you also want to shoot digitally, the Hassy is the better choice.

Great discussion and info guys! Hope to see another video from you soon! Is Larry looking at the Lumix G-9 Mark 2 to upgrade his kit?

Years ago well known photographer and darkroom guru,Ctein, did a comparison test between several popular Hasselblad Zeiss and Bronica PS lenses and the Bronica's were all sharper shot wide open than the Zeiss. Made this SQA/m owner very happy to know. I worked in/managed a couple of camera stores in SoCal for over 27 years. I sold tons of both cameras, as well as Rollei, Mamiya, Pentax, and Yashica medium format cameras, shot with all of them, and ended up with the Bronica because of the system, features and image quality.

@ 6:52 I'm proposing to change your Hasselblad sobriquet from a "test fire" to a "waste fire" :)

Fast forward a few years and this camera is a raging bargain. I'm moving to this from a Panasonic G9 and this video captures a key use case for why I wanted it.

Hi, cool work! We'd like to collaborate, how can we get in touch with you? :)

Good grief.....this is si tedious

хорошее видео, я тоже снимаю на средний формат.

Did you use different processing on those images?

Stan, how does the autofocus continuous compare with the 1dx?

Thank you to you both.

Welcome back, guys!

Hey Stan, is that bounce board underneath just curved poly?

Hi is this lens suitable for me to use on sport like football

Thanks for the video!!! Very informative. I use the Bronica SQ-B and have thought about going with Hasselblad. But cost and budget are my barriers. I can see that the Hasselblad images do appear more detailed with better contrast than the Bronica. But they are not too far apart.

it is not "sonor" but "sonar" for the 150mm Hasselblad lens

I understand why you keep saying "Olympus." I hear they are still being manufactured in the same factory in Thailand, which they share with Olympus medical imaging. So the same manufacturing plant and no doubt the same engineers as worked for Olympus. To me this is an Olympus camera.

film is magic

Don't sell your Pen-Fs You will regret it if you do.

Interesting you sold the system that worked 100% and kept the one that gave you problems.

I like your clothes behind you. You tu ber from Vietnam.

I’ve used 501cm and SQAi both great cameras never had issues using strobe with remote triggers. Both sharp backs on V system is much better. That being said sold Bronica kept Hasselblad….

I have owned a couple of Hasselblads for over few decades. A 500 CM and a 553 ELX. They are absolutely beautiful cameras , but they are not for everyone. I used to have a Bronica S2 and an ETRS in the early 80s. I sold them in the early 90s, as I was supporting my family then. I doubt very much if you see much difference bewteen a Hass or a Bornica with 6X or 7X enlargement. I also shoot film in all other formats including 4X5. I do use digital a lot. Nikon, Canon and Olympus . To me using film is like cooking a gourmet meal from scratch. A lot of preparation, skill, craft amd art is involved. Digital on the other hand is like buying ready meal from the super market. Put it in the oven , turn the temp up and give it time and it is ready, the post is like making the mess out of the oven look good and presentable. I know which one I prefer. Good video and presentation, and BTW the lady was a stunner.

I love shooting with both digital and film cameras. The tactile experience of shooting with these awesome film cameras is just photographically rejuvenating :)

My tiny lumix gx80 with the olympus 45mm 1.8 produces mind blowing results.. nowadays even with little money you can create excellent images

Great pictures. Did you sent your battery grip in for service? My hld1 is flawless.

This is great

is it touch screen as well

Thank you. I returned a Sony A7 because of the menu system.

Not sure what I dislike more about this video. 1-A year after posting it as a Part 1, there is no part 2 2-Even at 2x speed this doesn’t move along quickly enough 3-Stan was miked, but not his cameraman, and they are having conversations but you can only get one side (all of that should have been edited out) 4-Stan is using the gear in very humid conditions, and everything is fogging. I would have either waited that out, or picked another day. The results were likely affected. 5-By his own admission there were technical problems with the Hasselblad. Doesn’t that unfairly affect this comparison? Overall this was poorly planned and executed. As of this writing in August 2022, we still do not know how these compare.

Excellent images sir!

First time I have seen you, well done, enjoyed the images.

Nice work! The video looked really good. What are you using for your video set up?
