Brilliant! Thank you 👍🙏
Thank you kindly! I hope it was helpful!
I am an amateur wildlife photographer, my dad was a wedding, school, I guess people photographer. He is in his 80s and no longer does photography so he gave me that camera. I am going to load up some film and give it a shot, literally.
Thank you so much for the lesson as I had no idea where to begin.
This is the best and most well presented video on the Hasselblad I have seen. Simple, direct, easy to follow and no ego from the presenter.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m really glad this video was of help to you! God bless, and happy shooting! 📸
I've watched so many Hasselblad 500c/m how-tos and this by far has been the BEST most thorough one. Thank you!
Thank you so much! Your feedback means a lot! I look forward to seeing more content from you!
I agree with all the others. This is a perfect video on the topic - no smart remarks, no digressions - just exactly what we need to know. Great stuff! Thanks.
Edward, thank you so much for your kind words! I hope you and yours are having a safe and happy holiday! Cheers! and Happy Shooting! ;)
Killer how to, have to agree with everyone else, seems to be the best one out there! Thank you for making this.
Thank you so much for your kind words! Happy shooting!
Really nice video, just a little note, I am an Hasselblad 500C user for nearly a month now, and one thing that was a little bit odd in the beginning to understand was that if you have older lenses of the "C" series,the shutter speed and aperture are coupled, if you want only adjust shutter speed or the aperture you have to pull the leaver located on the aperture dial.
Yes, you have to push the lever/the ring toward you in order to change either of the settings individually. If you do not pull the lever, the Shutter Speed and Aperture will remain coupled. Well spotted. Thank you! I hope you're enjoying your 500C! Great cameras!!
@@mikestechy I really love it, I have shot 10 rolls already and I'm amazed of the results, stunning quality of the lenses and the camera is a real pleasure to use, is an experience non just taking pictures and that's what I really love about it!
I didn’t notice this. Running to get my lenses now lol. I think mine have always been decoupled but using a Pentax spot meter and the way that operates it makes sense that if they were coupled I could adjust and remain properly exposed. That’s brilliant.
thank you
Tuve una Hasselblad 500 por 25 años, me desprendì de ella al haber en mi pais grandes problemas para obtener pelicula 120 y ademas los equipos para revelar. No creo que haya una camara mejor que esa, la precision de su construccion, la cantidad de accesorios, la constante comunicacion con la fabrica quienes nos tenian a los propietarios de esas extraordinarias maquinas al tanto de las novedades que le iban introduciondo, los resultados impecables (cuando se hacian bien las cosas, si no salian bien no se podia acusar a la camara) actualmente veo un monton de nuevos modelos, alejado de la fotografia por la edad solamente espero que los nuevos equipos esten a la altura de la 500.
Roberto, Yes, it is truly a remarkable camera! I am love with the build of the Hasselblad body, and how versatile it is as a camera! Many of the modern Hasselblad models, especially the 907 model work quite well with the older 500 series cameras. I've been looking at the CFV II 50C digital back for quite sometime. Wicked expensive, however, very cool that you can use it on the 500 series cameras, using older lenses. Thank you for commenting, and happy shooting! ;)
Very clear instructions!
Thank you kindly! ;)
Great video. Very clear and easy to follow. Thank you!
Wow! Thank you so much for the positive feedback! Greatly appreciate it! Would love to see some of your photography! Feel free to send me some of your work! Social: @mikestechy
I wish you would have covered mirror lock up. Trying to figure that out and it seems like a lot of people bypass that important feature. Not sure if it’s on all 500 series cameras. Great video though.
I love my Hasselblad camera system.
such an amazing camera!!!!! love it!!
Perfect thank you!!!
Happy you liked it!!!
What a pice of Art!
I do love this camera!! Such a monumental piece of photography history!
Hi I am wondering how I can read the depth of field on the 80mm planar CT lens. I find two red lines on the lens and I am not sure how to read them. Thank you for your feedback
Hi Jasmine, thank you so much for asking this question and I apologize for not sharing this in the video. So, there are the two red lines on the planar lens that indicate the aperture of your lens. If you were holding the Hasselblad, you will notice that there’s a little button on the bottom right hand side of the lens. When you are adjusting your aperture, you can press that little button and you will notice a preview of your aperture (which helps indicate whether or not you have a shallow depth of field)
@@mikestechy Thank you
@@jasminecaye2064 I hope that helped! Happy Shooting!
...just read the two red lines on your C or C T* lens against the distance scale on your focusing ring - any object between the nearest and furthest distances indicated should be in focus. Hope this helps,
How do you set the film speed on these Cameras?
Great
Thank you so much my good sir!!
