Have any of you shot on a Hasselblad before? Although it's much slower and has many more limitations compared to other cameras, this thing's such a blast to use.
Where did you buy your hasselblad?
Yep, it is my main medium format camera. I have the 80mm 2.8 Planar, 150mm f4 Sonnar and a 50mm f4 Distagon. 😍 I've recently put an NC-2 prism finder on mine for some shots.
Had mine for a few years now and I still get butterflies in my stomach when I load it for a day out shooting. And yes, the sound of it is intoxicating
Loved the images. It would be great to see how you scan the film. I have never seen that done. Great job! Look forward to seeing more of your videos. Happy moving...
Thank you! I'll definitely make a video on how I scan in the near future 👍🏻
Those first handful of shots with the first roll were awesome! That vintage red bike shot is awesome!
Thanks bro! 👊🏻 followed you on IG by the way - keep crushing it with the photos man. Great work
Absolutely! Thanks so much! I'd just spaced out on giving you a follow haha excited to see what you make with this camera!
No instant gratification to see the images but you do get s physical image that if stored correctly can be used to produce images again and again with no fear of it getting lost or corrupted in a hard drive or cloud somewhere.
No follow up Video? These were great photos and as a dedicated Hasselblad photographer I know you haven’t scratched the surface of the capabilities of this camera. Are you still using this system? If you are having trouble focusing there are interchangeable focus screen that have split image range finder like focus aids. Also, I use the one with a grid on them to help me get the verticals correct when shooting architecture. Cheers, Charlie
4:20 Cool to see a Swedish car photographed by a camera from Sweden. Both from my hometown Gothenburg *Proud Swede*
👍👍 thanks for watching!
Awesome Jason! Loved the video mate! That camera looks sweet!
Thanks for watching! 👊🏻
Those velvia colours!!!!
Can’t beat em!
I have shot street with my Hasselblad 503 with the 50mm lens on it. Many shots just using the distance meter to focus. Used sunny 16 for exposure with TRI-X 400 at 400
Subbed, despite the fact that you had sold off your XT2 🤣
Velvia shots are great, spot-on, yet Provia does have some kind of tint indeed, and it's not so contrasty, what's not necessarily a bad thing...
i thought hasselblad was a bit slow too, but after i bought a focusing lever i don't find it any slower than my leica actually.
flexing your hasselblad and your leica
What's wrong with slow?
Awesome video man, the shot with the red bike in front of the house is awesome! Nice capture 👌 keep up the good work!
Hey thanks bro! Much appreciated 👊🏻
What film scanner are you using?
I have really good vision (according to eye tests) and I have trouble with focus on my 500C/M too, and I always pop up the magnifier to be sure. Not done the video so maybe you mention what focusing screen you have later, but some of them are darker than others, so if you get a brighter one, might help too. (I think mine is fairly bright but not the highest level)
I think my focusing screen is a little bit dark. I don't have a ton of Hasselblad experience so I don't have much to compare it to but it's not as bright as it could be I don't think. Do you have any recommendations on which focusing screens to buy?
@@JasonWebberYT tbh I don't have a ton of experience myself, I'm fairly new to the system as well. As I understand it the earlier screens were darker, and then came out with "Acute Matte" screens which are brighter, but SOME people say are harder to focus with, and then they came out with "Acute Matte D" screens, which have D in the model name, and supposedly are easier to focus with (again, according to some people arguing on a forum). I've googled it and found a lot of arguments, but it's hard to tell who is right. I'm still trying to get a good handle on it, but I have an Acute Matte, but not the D version (it actually took me a while to figure out what I had for sure), and I need the magnifier most of the time - if I'm just looking through the viewfinder without it, I'm trying to focus on a 6cm area that's maybe 12 or 18 inches from my eye, so I mean, no matter what your vision is like, that's such a small area.
There are so many screens and some are pretty pricey, so I want to really get more educated before ever switching, but the Acute Matte D 42217 seems like maybe the best one - it has grid lines and a split-image rangefinder spot, but sells for $400+, and it'd stink to get it and then realize that it works differently than I think, or that it's not a massive improvement over what I already have haha!
Thanks for the tips! And yeah, exactly my thoughts. They're waaaayyyy more expensive than you'd think for a flat piece of glass. Wouldn't want to spend a few hundred bucks and realize it's no better than what you already have.
I'll do some shopping around and see what I can find.. maybe something with a decent return policy 🤔
Hi, I had the same problem with focusing and I bought a PME_3 prism. Made all the difference and this thingy is cheaper than a fancy focus screen.
They never went to the moon. Watch “Capricorn One” with James Brolin.
Try fluid mount scanning you get a cleaner scan thanks .
thanks for the tip!
Hey where's your light meter ?
On my phone!
great video man. how you meter your shots ?
Thank you! I use the Lumu app on my phone. It has a spot meter function so in harsh lighting I'll measure exposure for the shadows and measure for the highlights and then meet it somewhere in the middle
I wanna try medium format film but it’s heavy.
the size and weight is a definite trade off but the quality is amazing!
Once you try it you don‘t wanna go back !
Where's your light meter bro?
I use a light meter app on my phone, works great for me. Some people don’t think the apps are accurate enough but I’ve never had an issue
@@JasonWebberYT Let the viewer know how you're getting the exposure...it helps.
The best way to love a Hasselblad
is not listening to the sound of the shutter
but to watch the quality of the images made by it.
You are talking a lot of the wanker's nonsense now.
Quit wasting screen time telling us about your life. Make the video as if you have all the time in the world. Makes you look slicker, and doesnt waste our time.
More NONSENCE about Hasselblad ( not Hauselblaud ) going to the Moon, can you please explain about Radiation from the Van Allen belt and photographic film.
