Review Summary

2014-01-06T19:00:00

Rated 5 out of 5

I was fortunate to find this Hasselblad

With a 40mm Distagon Zeiss lens is ideal for architectural photography. With a 120 mm Makro Planar Zeiss lens, is excellent for portraits. With an 80mm Planar Zeiss lens, it is unbeatable for general photography. The focusing screen is excellent for composition. Compared to a 35mm camera, the bulk and the weight are not that great, but worth for the end result.

It's the classic workhorse

This is film SLR nirvana. It doesn't get any better than this.
