Hey .. Hasselblad friend! You never have to apologise for your English. Ok? Apart from the fact that you are easy to understand, English is a second language for you. I am sure your Italian is very good. 👌 Thank you for sharing your knowledge here. The majority of 'new generation' Hasselblad owners do not own a Hasselblad Manual, so they are largely dependent on what they find online. You're a star. Grazie mille!
The battery problem actually exists. If you use a battery block it is a little too tight in the compartment. The voltage can even be so high that the lock wheel breaks out. It is better to press the battery together with the cable clamp (e.g. with a vice, carefully). The container with the contacts is placed in the other compartment. The plastic body of the child surprise fits wonderfully. It's also good that the plastic gives way a little and a balance is possible in both shafts. Contacts can be, for example, the small brass closures for mail bags. Have fun building and taking pictures. Martin
I had the Hasselblad 500 C/M camera, but I got tird of the blackened top view in the finder when using a macro or tele lens, so I got the Hasselblad 2000 FC camera and l got the lenses Zeiss Distagon 50mm 2.8, Zeiss Planar 110mm 2.0, Zeiss Tele-Tessar 350mm 4.0 and Zeiss Mutar 2X, a great set of lenses, I can very highly recommend these 3 Hasselblad F-lenses plus the 2X ! For the 500 C/M camera I had the Zeiss Macro-Planar 120mm 4.0 and the Zeiss Tele-Tessar 250mm 4.0, but the Zeiss Planar 110mm 2.0 with the Zeiss Mutar 2X was so good that I did not need the Zeiss Macro-Planar 120mm 4.0 and Zeiss Tele-Tessar lenses 250mm any more.
Magnifying glass: Doesn't the flip-up viewfinder have a magnifying glass built-in? It least the one I tested did. ^^ Anyway, neat tips! It might be obvious, but if you have more than one film cartridge, you can load film for various ISO denominations, making the Hassie function _almost_ like a modern digital camera with variable ISO.
Please use the button on the film back to attach to the body. You’re slamming it which will wear the film back and damage the camera over time. Slide it to the right and gently couple the back and body. We are custodians of these beautiful cameras.
Back focused on image 4:00 while lecturing "how to" on critical focus in between slapping the film back as hard as possible to the body and also speaking a new language. At least the English was right
You realise those are scanned negatives compressed in jpg, then put in a mp4, compressed in premiere and then uploaded on youtube and compressed again by youtube itself, right? As for the slapping of the back: it's built to be used like that. Everybody who really uses these cameras do it like that. All the others are just people who (maybe) own a Hasselblad. I don't babysit my gear. I use it. I Want the pictures and I want to be fast where I can be fast. Never had a problem. Anyway, if you know faster and better ways to put the film back on possibly with one hand only, why don't you publish a video about it? Sorry for my english.
Great vid. Very much to the point. I'm watching auctions online and I'll buy a 500 C/M when I find one at a price I like but your video sated my apetite a bit at least. I dig your accent btw. Your speak with a good flow so it's not bothering at all. By that and from your name I deduce you're italian. Correct? Cheers from Sweden.
please don't slab your your loupe on your groundglass, you can unalign your ground glass and then focusing becomes really difficult ;) Also the 9volt battery is too big, and puts too much stress on the doorlach of your elx, at least I found it out with mine, and that's what's the repair men told me. He advice me to go for a 6v battery adaptor piece, word also good ;) But for the rest, nice info, and like the photo's
Just got a beautiful beater 500C with 50 mm f4 Zeiss Distagon and I just love it ! I'm thinking it's about a 35mm equivalent lens which is great for me because I prefer wide angle. But I will be looking for the normal lens also. I just learned a few things and really appreciate it. Your English is great by the way. Had no problems understanding you at all. Great video too, thanks. Larry Mac
Great video, I don't know why you talked about your english, its fine. Do not force the back on to the body liike you are doing, it wears the catch for the back. You should press the release button before you put the back on.
Hi. I paused viewing to suggest that you move the microphone closer to you for making these videos. There is too much echo in the room. Two other alternatives: 1) If the microphone is integrated with the camera, get a plug in microphone if possible; 2) Hang drapes or similar sound dampening material to control the sloppy sound characteristics of the room.
Yeah I know. I just really wanted our UK brothers and sisters to be part of our great European Nation. Maybe someday, with the right conditions... who knows?

Yes I agree with @thefieldworkshop, your English is very good.
thanks for these very useful tips - your English is fine - it's great to see your enthusiasm for the classic film cameras
Excellent video....thank you for posting! Blessings to you.

Thanks, you are better than most. Your English is fine..very fine.
Your accent is perfect! No apologies needed.
These are great! Thanks for sharing. (And your English is fine.)
GREAT, LEARNT A LOT, THANKS!
great info and no problems understanding you! Cheers!
Your English is about 10 times better than my Italian could ever be, so you needn't worry.

Can I double-thumbs-up that?

Hi, my hasselblad’s aperture got stuck, I can’t advance the film. I’m new with analog cameras. Can you please help me
What does it mean that the aperture got stuck?
Do you mean the shutter?

@@otnol Your English is actually good
& the image is back focused

Yes! I consider myself as an EU citizen, but I was born and I live in Italy :D
Thank you for your kind comment!
Great video, thx
very useful skills!thank you so much
Great tips, thank you!
great video man !
The UK never used the Euro currency even when it was part of the UE
Thank you. I know it. It was just a joke.
Have a nice day :)

I love the 4th trick, that shooting-from-above thing bothers me a lot.
grande! grazie mille, ho appena ricevuto la mia "nuova" 500c/m e praticamente ho da imparare tutto :-)
C'è bisogno di questo tipo di video nella lingua italiana... In inglese ce ne sono 500.000
nice video, very nice

We used our own currency in the UK even when we were in the EU
It's almost like they knew they were going to leave even back then.....
Oooo conspiracy
Yeah I know. I just really wanted our UK brothers and sisters to be part of our great European Nation. Maybe someday, with the right conditions... who knows?
@@otnol thank you, that's so thoughtful. I hope so too
The United Kingdom never used Euros and cent coins, but we have had small coins for a few hundred years. We'll be fine thanks.
Good for you! I'm just sad our brothers in the UK left without any logical reason.
Stay safe and have a nice day.
jajajajaja buuut... brexit jajaaja
Santiago Fernández 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Reference to brexit was completely inappropriate.
STOP SNAPPING YOUR MAGAZINE BACK ONTO THE CAMERA! USE THE SMALL KNOB THEN ATTACH!
It's supposed to be used like this and, if you don't mind, I do whatever I want with my gear :)
Also, WHY ARE YOU SCREAMING?!
you could have stayed in the E.U. but Brexit. lol! :)
Hasselbald?
Great tips! Thanks!
Very helpful! Thank you!
