Yesterday I bougth a Hasselblad 500c with a 80mm/2.8 Planar, the ligthmeter wheel, a new focusing screen and two a16 film backs.

This is the camera I've wanted since I was seven, and now I have it.

Isn't it sexy?

And they are perfect for street photography, I shot two rolls of tri-x yesterday, it looks perfect.

a bit too heavy for me to drag it around on the streets, and I'm not comfortable enough with the cam yet to go out on the streets. been really busy with some things.

next week i wanna do a portrait session in the studio with a friend of mine.

the bummer is that you can't see the results immediately ;)

Buy a polaroid back, they are really inexpensive, you can get a used one for about 500sek (55usd) over here.

I don't think it's much heavier then a dslr and a couple of good lenses, the only downside is that I get a bit dizzy when walking around looking down the viewfinder, because of the mirrored image.

I got a polaroid-back, borrowed from a friend of mine, but he needs it back ofcourse..

well, I might go search for it myself. the polaroids aren't expensive either (â�¬ 10 for 10 pieces) (well, they are expensive, but you know what I mean ;))
