well it wasnt that bad.

i got an awesome deal. it's a used camera cuz to buy a new hasselblad it'll cost you around 3-4 grand.

the one i got has only been used to take 12 rolls of film and it's in immaculate condition...it looks brand new and i picked it up for 1200. so it was an awesome deal.

i can't wait to start using it!

yup they're big square negs...2 1/4 inch square negs...so they have amazing detail and you can blow them up pretty large.

i also use a cambo in toronto...which makes 4"x5" negs...and the detail is so amazing that i took a picture of yonge street at night (it's in my gallery...the black n white one with all the car light streaks on the road) and in the actual print, that you can read little signs in the store across the street from where i was standing.

no thanks.

a digital SLR even at 4mp doesn't compare to a medium format's neg detail.

but that would be fun to have, i suppose. i think i'm going to wait it out until digital gets even closer to analogue film based cameras in respect to quality. maybe if i get a sugar daddy, he'll buy me a digital back for my hasselblad. only 20-30 grand. but i'm worth that...and more.

it's actually relatively small.

it's around the size of a normal 35mm SLR but it's just a "box" shape.

Yeah, but we do different photomography! I'm an action/outdoor guy, you're into models (I would like to get "into" a few models though;)) My buddy Ian Highlands uses the D2h, before he bought it he was spending like $15,000 a year on film and developing. I've mucked around with that and the D70, I think in a few years the technology will be spot on, it's already hella close.

I found a link a while ago to the digi Hassleblad. fucking nuts. 32 MPs....anyways, off to Nanaimo :)

Quick lesson about the MPs on digi cams. The bigger the sensor, the better the pic. the better the glass on the lense, the better the pic. That mars lander had 1MPs. It was the lenses and the size of the sensor that made the images so ill. MPs aren't everything, they are only part what makes for a good pic. you can take a shot from my "ucky" DSLR and blow it up to 40*30 on te JPEG setting, on RAW it's even better.

But I heard the new HP 6MP with DOCKING STATION!!!q11! is nice these days :)

sweetie...i realize you're not the smartest kid around but work with me here...

a $500 digital camera is a joke compared to my hasselblad. while you're taking rave pictures of your high ugly reject friends, my photos will be gracing the pages of W, Vogue, and Marie Claire.
