From last year at Anhinga Trail ENP Ran into a person using a Hasselblad ... sure brought memories and do miss those cameras besides the image quality they were a treat to handle !!!
Comments welcome and much appreciated

Looks like a real craft using one!
lol, I was a Mamiya RB67 user. I used to think people didn't buy square(6x6) photos.
never could afford Hassy......nice observation Alfred
Looked at them at B and H. The lenses almost matched the price of the camera body!
Hey Al,
what's that???....manual focus and such! The horror!! Did give and still does give great image quality!........but I'll keep the auto everything now......no turning back!
I've never seen one of these, thanks for sharing!
Wow this brings back sweet memories...my Pops use to have one. A sweet camera...this is priceless...thanks for sharing Mr. Forns...:cool:
Oh yeah. Memory lane. I had a Rolleiflex and a Graflex Speed Graphic. My first SLR was a Topcon Super D, the first camera to have TTL metering by most accounts. How did we ever live without histograms? :D

There are a couple of these sitting on the moon, should you ever be in the neighborhood! :D
The memories of this and film and 4x5 processing, etc. Give me a 8gig disk and free photography! Can't afford to go back to lab processing of all images taken. But as others have said ... Thanks for the memories. ;)
Wow...what a gem! I bet he loves that camera something fierce!
Those Hassies were too rich for my blood. I used my trusty old Pentax 6x7 tank. I pull it out once and awhile and still shoot a roll through it. All ten exposures! I still love the anticipation of dropping a strip of transparencies onto the light table.
God bless,

Cool image Alfred and even cooler to have seen this being used just last year. I can image the memories it brought back !!!
I used a Mamiya 67 for a while too, and my friend has a Hassy in an underwater housing that he occasionally dusts off.
Great capture of an era gone by Al.
