My observation concerns photography,....How to level the camera on a tripod to be specific.

You need a tripod with a leveling bubble,..goes the commonly known statement,....with never to my knowledge and further clarification.
Tried it once,....I leveled the tripod via bubble level,...panned the camera,....nada,...uneven as uneven could be.
I assumed I was missing something somewhere in the process,...so instead,.... I always fiddled and fussed,.both ends against the middle till levelness was somewhat approximated acceptably and was a happy camper.

Maybe I've been living under a rock for the 57 years I've been doing photography,....but it was only recently when I was watching an English photographer on a youtube video that I saw a,...prim and proper technique explained in rather simple detail how to simply level the camera on a tripod,....for properly panning images.................

Anyway,...Yes you do level the tripod via the tripod leveling bubble,....but,....then you "next" level the camera via built in visible horizontal level (or bubble level attached to the camera's flash shoe),....then and only then you can pan to your hearts delight and be properly level to go about making your image in chipper fashion as you toodle along doing your pano ,...............

Why had I never seen this over the years???,.......maybe I'm just not the brightest bulb in the string of lights.

That's all,....just wanted to share.

I purchased this camera new in the early 1970's.
Since that time, the camera has remained wrapped and sealed in a cool dust free state with several 1 lb canvas bags of silica gel.
All mechanical functions and settings appear to be working smooth and normal.
The SWC comes with its original attaching auxiliary optical viewfinder. (shown attached in image)
One A12 Hasselblad magazine, chrome with slide.
One Hasselblad black leather neck carrying strap.
One Hasselblad rear fresnel ground glass focusing adapter.
One Hasselblad magnifying chimney focusing hood with adjustable diopter viewing ( aids viewing with rear ground glass adapter)
There are several other included accessories including screw in metal Hasselblad lens shade, several front lens filters and retaining
rings, rear protective cover, SWC instruction manual and a hardbound 419 page publication "The Hasselblad Way by H. Freytag.
I hate to part with this gem but realistically I will not be using it again.
I would though like to see a serious film photographer enjoy this SWC's renown lens as it was meant to
be used.

I used these sync cords for years back in the mid 1960's shooting weddings using Heico strobes (all manual settings,...1/4,...1/2,.. 3/4 & Full power) ) that were manufactured in Watertown, Massachussets,....these custom strobes operated using awkward and heavy lead acid batteries that you had to keep each cell topped with distilled water as you did in your car battery,...they later upgraded to solid cells,...I also kept at least two extras of these type sync cords on my person every wedding.
Strobe Guide # divided by feet from subject = f stop used manually on the camera,.....Am sure many here well remember having to be knowledgeable in those aspects.....sounds funny even talking about it and dating myself in such a way.....lol

Tell your boobs to stop staring at my eyes.

I am interested, please pm me

Sorry,.....I'm not taking cut in pay for anyone,.....sheeeeez

Likewise, my 1st same exact new camera purchase,.....still have and use the 50mm f 1.4 and use it on my D810,...works amazingly well too,...love old glass.

My wife,....tooooooo tooooo much drama,......I keep meaning to tell her,.....You want drama, join an actors guild,.....

But, I know that,.... nodding my head in agreement and repeating what she just said, as if in agreement,.....works wonders ...ohhhh, and most importantly,..avoiding questions.....keeps the peace....

What honey poooo,...yes I'll be right there,....later everyone.

I'm afraid to say,.....Have never used auto anything on my cameras over the years,...unless you want to call matrix metering in the viewfinder auto???,.... which to me is just a starting point,....I'm a dinosaur of sorts and have many birthdays to prove it.

I was doing some research,...and,.................

Got queeeezy just watching it.

Nice

Raw images provide more headroom in post processing, if needed,...due to the information captured.

As a photo editor processing images for magazine publication I work with many well known photographers who nail the exposure right on,....in high quality jpg format,....I have found that when that done confidently and consistently,...it presents no limitations for sizing up to quality full page images.

For my personal photography though,....I too prefer adhering to high quality RAW files,..as I enjoy utilizing the full captured file information my camera provides,...I enjoy too the post processing workflow to obtain all I seek in my completed images,.....just my personal liking,...there's no one correct way for all,....we all do the same things,.....differently.
