Does anyone still shoot with Hasselblad cameras?

I don’t, but only because I can’t possibly afford one.

My dad does and he loves it! He still only uses film.

yeah I am a nikon user, going to upgrade do d3 soon, can’t wait.

D3 is great! Shot my last mag cover with one. What it can do with zero light is impressive. But my Hassy is still much sharper under normal conditions.

If I still owned one, i would certainly be shooting with it. My entire life I’ve been dedicated exclusively to Hasselblad and Nikon, and for convenience, a pocket Minox and have never been disappointed in the quality and performance of any of the three brands.

They’re super well built cameras (in theory, the ones they left on the moon would still be usable..), super-dependable, and they give you great results that can’t be (exactly) replicated by digital cameras.

Most people are going for conveniences or speed (camera -> end product) over the “hassle” of running film.

Then again, I had a great time shooting a Hassie with a Aptus Leaf 17 back…

Yeah, if they can afford one.

Man if I could afford one I would have it at my side 24–7. Hasselblads are the shiznit for image clarity and low-light applications.

ive worked with two photographers here in the chicago area who swear by them, and those two have been the best photographers i have worked with so far, and from my experience even though they are expensive cameras, they do give the best final image. I love the pictures i received from the shoots with the photographers I worked with that used Hasselblads

I haven’t shot mine since November, nearly entirely because of my budget. Though the H2 is a fantastic camera for digital jobs with a tech and budget etc.

I’ve also felt constricted by the square format, after 10 years of committing to it.

Hasselblad cameras were all that I used. Would luv to have one again.

People today just can’t understand. Film is like a living organism. The Hasselblad made it breath life.

@ChazMaz….And I suspect you did your own developing and printing as well. Its a beautiful process to perform and behold and will soon be lost less a few knowledgeable zealots/historians. See ya….Gary/wtf

“And I suspect you did your own developing and printing as well.”

Yes, I did. And I am glad that I did. Brings an insight that you would normally miss.
The emulsion never lies.
