old camera !

[kev]

spotted this chap in York this afternoon , not very often you see these been used now !

not sure of the camera make ?

 

[fuzzyedges]

Are you sure its old? 

Digital mamiya's and hasselblads look something like this today

 

Wouldn't know one from tother as the expense stops me looking

[kev]

oh that's new to me then ,never seen digitals looking like these before ,but never looked

[Black Pearl]

Its a Hasselblad 500 (possibly the CM) with an A12 film back.

 

Nice old machine, preferred using them with a quick focus handle but he's going proper old school. 

[fuzzyedges]

There you go i am wrong again

but some of the others look like that to me, not exactly the same but close

Look on the rear section and you can see the winding crank - shows its a film back.

 

God I'm never going to get Jessops out of my system am I.

[fuzzyedges]

I am not doubting you bp my knowledge of medium format is just below zero

I was pointing out that some of the digital ones look a bit like the old ones

[Black Pearl]

Very.

 

I drive my wife insane with this sort of stuff. We can be watching TV and I'll point out a camera an actor is using doesn't actually sound like that or that they've used their 36 shots and are still shooting or we'll be out and I'll spot a bit of kit a mile off and tell her all about it - the glassy expression and total lack of interest hasn't stopped me yet.

 

One of these days I'll be knighted.

Join the club! I remember seeing the film "True Lies" and Arnie breaks into a big house, sneaks into a room and fires up a computer there. I hear the Mac chime, then the camera pans round to the computer screen, and Windows is loading. I'm like "What??" 

[Black Pearl]

Most cameras in films sound like a Nikon MD4 and I lost count of the number of shots Brad Pitt took in Spy Game without ever changing a film - not an quick process on the Leica he was shooting with.

I'm not sure about the camera, but just look at that so called......HAIR CUT.....Just what we ex Teddy Boys used to look like within half an hour of arriving at an Army Barracks for two year's National Service.......

.....I have, truly witnessed grown men ( well 18 year olds really) crying bitter tears after being shorn to look just like that.......The world has gone mad I tell you!

[Phil]

but just look at that so called......HAIR CUT

 

You think that hair cut is bad, one day I'll post a pic of Kev himself! His avatar is pretty darn close.

Just watch any first division football match and note some of the players haircuts Fuji and all their arms obliterated by tattoos.  As they say all footballers brains are in their feet!  Mind you if they will keep using their heads to head balls it must jar their brains each time and have some effect on their mental capacity, just like banging your head on brick walls.

 

Yes it is a Hasselblad, but what a skimpy tripod to use for a medium format camera!

 

The new digital Hasselblad's don't look much different, but you may have to mortgage your house to buy one:-

But that's not the dearest one since even with a recent price reduction this one will set you back £21,995.00p:-

And for a couple of £k more you can get this sexy little number.
