Hasselblad? (Page 6): Sorry, I don't mean to be redundant, but I should have quoted the original message so everyone knows who I was responding to. Is that H5D-50 the CCD 50 back or...

Is that H5D-50 the CCD 50 back or 50C (CMOS)? I have a 500C/M with 8 or 9 lenses and was thinking of either a 50 back for the C/M or a used H3 or H4D with a 50 back. Haven't tried either so not sure which way to go. I know the 50C is a smaller sensor and wasn't sure if the image quality would be up to the larger CCD 50 sensor?

Someone loaned me a Rolls once to pick up a date. The exhaust system fell off on the way to the restaurant, clanging and banging on the street as we pulled up to the door. We were the laughing stock of the staff and onlookers - and a volunteer fixed the fallen muffler with a coat hanger. So much for nominal quality. I'd have been happier in a Chevy.

When I want to be propelled by the hand of god, make mine a Benz.

I may not be a massive fan of RR. However, imho, your viewpoint is too narrow.

I have absolutely no doubt that the problem you experienced was, inept maintenance; or possibly accident damage, not
any design or material fault of the original unit/s.

Not tottaly relative... but, I don't know how many Chev engines are in aircraft, but RR have
been supplying aircraft power plants for more than a hundred years. Even QANTAS
use RR engines.

Sympatico to your post, a QANTAS A380 had a catastrophic engine failure in flight. The power plant
was a Rolls Royce Trent engine. The turbine became unfastened to its shaft. As it freewheeled and no longer powered
the compressor stages, it over revved nine point nineskavitch, and centrifuged itself into titanium shrapnel.

The pieces of shrapnel took out part of the wing, the fuel system and a fuel tank fire started. Other shrapnel disabled one hydraulic system and the brakes. The control system for the undamaged #1 engine was also taken out as well as making the landing flaps inoperative... BAD ROLLS ROYCE!

The precipitous cause was a very small piece of pipe that carries oil to the shaft bearing adjacent to the turbine that failed.

The pipe appears to me to have been cocked at an angle to the fitting it "telescopes" onto when its fastening collar was tightened
causing it to crack and brake... Just my humble opinion.

Yes, I did. It was always capable of producing the finest of images - if there was ever a problem, it was me not the camera. When I finally sold the setup, I didn't loose any money from the purchase price and got enough to pay off our house. It was a great investment.

Just out of curiosity ...

Is there anyone here using, or have used, Hasselblad's cameras?

I had three 500c Hasselblads with an array of lenses, bellows and film backs. I photographed over 800 weddings with them. Sold all three two years ago. It was a tough call.

Your not tempted to spend every minute roaming between the 100 or so camera stores in London and taking pictures in between?

London is fine and dandy, but I feel about it much as Lord Sefton did about the first World War, - My Dear, - the Noise, the People!
Much better a Spring day in the Cotswolds(q.v.) - even without the Bugatti. . .

I understand.
I am a city rat at heart. I am a street photographer and spend as much time as I can on the Seattle streets.

Seriously, if it is all in very good condition I would bet you could get $1000+ on eBay.

Come to London. C.Dickens rather understated things.
All of human, [and perhaps humanoid] life is there.
You'll love it!
