The first time I used my Hasselblad a girl walk up to me and asked about film photography .We talked for about 45 min .This is not the only time strangers have been captivated by the camera(not me). A great camera to use. sitters for portraits like the shutter sound. Keep up the good work.
THOMAS-- In 1980 I had a Bronica etrs and a Mamiya RB 67 for about 4 years each( Bought both used)! All together I shot film for 40 years, plus numerous DSLR's until 2004 I got my first Digital camera the D70 nikon! But watching you shoot with your Hasselblad 500cm made me realize just how much they(medium format) are to use! Still enjoy your awesome voice! Thanks THOMAS for the nice video!

Thank you again Randy! Feels good to hear someone likes the sound of your voice. Maybe I missed my calling! Voiceover artist! lol So yes, I also owned a D70. I remember liking it but not liking the low resolution back then though I still made money with it shooting editorial stuff so it definitely was a solid performer in its day. Shooting film again is such a fun thing to do. I will be doing an outing with just a 35mm (Nikon F100) camera all handheld on a hike soon. I want to see what sort of treasures or horrors I can uncover. :-)
Very interesting, Thomas, I used to lust after a Hasselblad many moons ago but I haven't shot a film since 2004 when I went Digital. I used to love the Darkroom but the Z7 and lenses like the new Z 24-120 are just so brilliant with so much control I can't be tempted. My Nikkormat FT 2 and my Olympus OM 1 look down on me from my shelf and that's where they will stay, keep up the good work, love your channel.
Thank you Douglas! I appreciate the praise. Yes, it's a bit of work to shoot film and one may wonder why one would do it. I think its just fun though. I wouldn't try to make a living with it anymore but its definitely fun. :-)
Nice video Thomas, I love your compositions! I have started shooting film during the pandemic too, but with little to no experience to photography at all, and I must say after almost two years, it was worth every penny. A little bit of GAS here and there as you might expect, but the only camera still with me is my Hasselblad 503CXi. I have noticed you make use of a view magnifier, not sure if it's the 42459, but I am considering it for my PME3 at the minute. Do you happen to know the magnification ratio?
I guess it is the 42459 magnifier mounted on the non metered PM90 prism For the PME45 prisms it's another magnifier, ref. 42462 that only works. For me the most confortable non metered 90° finder is the HC4, later RM-2 made for Hasselblad by Hensold Wetzlar. It is compatible with Polaroid and digital backs and has a nice adjustable diopter ring, but it is big.
Hasselblad love
Taking a moment of time and keeping it forever.....priceless

Love your composition. Please share more video with the hassy.
I will do! I'm in the middle of a major move. New videos to come!
I love the images

A murmuration!!
Did you love the bird trying to poop on me!? LOL it was hilarious in hindsight.
It's called being spotted. You were "spotted" by the bird! That will teach you to wear your hat! LOL @@ThomasPetzwinkler
I am in my. 50s and still cannot afford a hasselblad, or a kamiya. Lol.
Love your photo’s.
Well, I used to make my living with my Mamiya and as I said, I scored a really good deal on the Hassy. :-)

I love watching videos on shooting film. I'm tempted to get back in to it?
If you enjoyed the methodical nature and the patience required with developing etc. it is wonderful. I can't suggest you do it enough!
