    A very good comparison! I have been using Hasselblad 500 and 2000 for 15 years and would not go down that route again. They might be easy to carry but if you carry the whole system it gets heavy too and in both cases you are wishing for a cart to carry it a longer distance. If you are using just the 80 mm Planar the Hblad is portable and the RZ still isn't but neither camera will give you critically sharp photos this way due to mirror-slap, compared to a TLR-Rolleiflex which I also owned for some time. Also, the Hasselblad needs more maintainance than any other systems I ever owned with regular cleaning and tuning of shutters every few years, complete deadlock in a 500 ELM and uneven spacing in two backs which came back dead as a brick from cla. Before you look for a Hasselblad first find a competent repairer you trust. You can imagine that my trust in that system is rather limited now and my love for the 80 mm F-Planar and 150 mm C-Sonnar cant make up for this. Some of the other lenses, notably the non-fle 4/50 mm and the 5.6/250, aren't really much to write home about btw. The Mamiya is a great camera for working from the trunk or around your house and on a tripod and there it is more flexible due to the available tilt/shift accessories, bellows-focussing and rotating back. The blad is more of an elegantly executed compromise in everything coming from the Rolleiflex 6x6 (55x55 mm actually) heritage.

    The sheetfilm holder is not just for making a test exposure. Dozens of special photographic emulsions were for sale as sheet films, butnot in 120 rollfilm. With the special purpose Hasselblad scissors you had to make your 6x6 cm sheetfilm. There are A32 and A32s backs There is an A 2456 back for 35 mm film. The 70 mm back with double perforatiefilm was for aerial photography, for scientific photography, for medical photography etc. The short extension tubes are great for a closer shot with the Zeiss tele lenses. Two types of Hasselblad Polaroid backs for test shots and instant BW negatives. Mount a Hasselblad 500 C/M body to any 4x5 view camera by a special adapter.

    This Provia looks like it has been developed for 7 minutes in first developer. Fuji films often need to be processed slightly longer than Ektachrome, but adding a full minute to Provia is too much. 30 seconds is enough. Velvia 50 should be developed for 7 minutes (standard time is 6:00(. This is most likely the reason for your Provia looking about half a stop overexposed compared to Ektachrome.

  • @JonathanNotley

    I didn’t know that tidbit about the timings but I still feel my experience is representative. I handed both rolls to the best film lab I know and they were likely processed in the same batch so the difference is what others would experience too.

    There's a vid on KZread by Figital Revolution (Stephen Schaub) who explains how you can do variating ISO on ONE FILM with Stand Dev. He uses DDX 45 Min. and always does a 5 Minute presoak to prevent bromide drag (streaking). I have tried T-Max Dev and T-Max mixed with Parodinal, but not with variating ISO. Roger from SFLAB did a Rodinal stand test and the best I thought was the one without any agitation apart from the starting ones.

    Not any 35. It’s the most boring compromising focal length out there. Not wide enough to count, and impossible to shoot square. What lens? I’d vote 50mm. Then 28. Go from there, if you want wider or longer. I went 21, 90. Maybe another 50. My 28 is the Summilux, so I bought a 24 for a lighter option without getting a second 28. I’m up to 5 leica, 2 voightlanders.

    There seem to be a lot of usability downsides to switching from the Hasselblad 500CM to the RZ67, with the only benefit being the small increase in negative width from 56mm to 68mm. This results in an aspect ratio of roughly 6:5. Is it worth it for the extra inconvenience and the back ache? One might just as well crop the 6cm x 6cm frame down to 6cm x 5cm when editing since the effect on image quality of doing that is fairly slight. To go seriously "unsquare" and yet gain in IQ, maybe the logical step is to go to 6 x 9 (actually 56 x 84mm) and get the genuine 2:3 aspect ratio. That train of thought leads to the Fujica GL690 series of rangefinder cameras, since there are no other practical alternatives for this format. Having recently acquired one of these, along with three lenses, I can vouch for the image quality which is top class. Being a rangefinder camera, close-up work with the GL690 is probably not its forte although the viewfinder does have parallax compensation. However, the portability and ease-of-use are much closer to the 500CM than the RZ67 while the prices are nearer to the RB67 system than to the Hassy. Of course, like with all these old medium format cameras, one has to buy with great care to avoid big repair bills.

    Hi Jonathan! Really like your videos, and this one I found very helpful. I do a lot of expired film photography on my Instagram account (same name as you see here) and I do a lot of color balancing (I usually call it color correcting) with my film scans. Expired film has a lot of color shifts, so it’s a challenge! I don’t have an Epson scanner, I use a less expensive scanner from Wolverine, so I usually open my bad color scans in Photoshop Elements. I never knew how to use the color curve so I found that helpful. You are very knowledgeable and I hope you continue with videos when you can. Thank you so much for what you do here on KZread.

    This somewhat confirms what I've always thought about Provia having a ½-stop over/under larger dynamic range than does E100. And also that Provia is a bit more neutral, making it a better starting point in a scanning workflow. I'd rather be adding contrast in post than trying to remove it.

    I used Hassies early in my career. (Starting in 1973) They take great quality photos. But the lack of instant return mirtor bothered me. The screen was not bright. (I did buy a third party Britescreen) The interlock of F stop and shutter speed selectors is awkward and makes bracketing exposures difficult. Doesn't have 1/3 F click stops. Loading film is slow. The pins that hold the backs on bend. There is a lot of vibration with the mirror and rear light blind. The mechanical connection between body and leaf shutter cocking can get out of sync...locking a lens on. Polaroid back could prevent use of some 90 degree prisms. I switched to the Rollei 6006 system as soon as it came out. Like going from a WWII prop plane to a jet fighter. Just one example: on a Hassie, after your last shot, you wind on and try to take another shot but the camera is locked up...sometimes just as the model has a perfect expression. My assistant had to watch the frame counter and stop me to reload. On the Rollei, the film automatically winds off after the last shot. Then you can just swap in a cheap preloaded film insert...no need to change backs. The film will advance to the first frsme.
