DSLR 'Feel"

None of it makes any difference. Most people are stuck in film days anyhow. Most people don’t have any realization of the benefits of digital in taking photos, and in editing. And beyond that, most wanna-bee photographers are stuck in taking pictures of their vacation and calling it art(even if its not their vacation).


Well, I personally don't know the definition of a "wanna-be photographer". Art is in the eyes of the beholder and who am I to criticize or define what someone took the time to photograph. None of us know what inspired a person to take a photograph. If you live long enough, there will be something in your life that will have such deep meaning that a photograph will not be enough expression.

Nikon D 850

The D850 in question is the final and best full-frame Nikon DSLR they could create. But, this relic has been surpassed by even the entry-level MILC models in terms of newer processors and an overall better shooting process. At 45MP with a number of cutting-edge shooting features, it is the apex DSLR in the Nikon line. As an apex model, and the even more rugged D5/D6 flagship models, these cameras can / should last forever. As 7+ year old designs, though, they're now behind the technology curve. That doesn't make them inferior, just not worth buying new. Only pay 'new' prices for new models, with 'new' features you can't find in any other older model.

Well, I own two D850s, one I purchased used and I recently purchased one new on sale. I realized when I purchased these DSLRs that newer technology was available in mirrorless cameras. I have never been one who felt the need to have the latest and greatest of anything. I prefer time tested quality that satisfies my needs. If the latest and greatest makes you happy, you will ALWAYS be one purchase away.......JMHO.

Photography is easy when you don’t know how, but very difficult when you refuse to go mirrorless.

The success is not something that happens while waiting for your DSLR to fail. No, you create the future by filling your online shopping cart with mirrorless camera equipment.


Paul, you should stop agitating, LOL.

It doesn't matter what is in front of your camera if a mirror is still sitting behind the lens.

Selling some DSLR gear. Took my D500 in hand and snapped a few pics. Great feeling and sound. That mirror moving up and down brings back fond memories.

Anyone else?


Absolutely, I'm still madly in love with my D850, D5, D4s and D500. Never mirrorless, DSLR all the way.

Bob,

I have a 500CM and one of my film backs needs service. Who would you use to service your Hasselblad?

I have a Hasselblad 501CM and still shoot film (both color and B&W) in it and then scan the negatives on an Epson V850. The Hassy still takes incredible photos. That said, I just purchased a digital back for it, and . . . well, the images are phenomenal. It’s a different style of photography, to be sure, but the results are their own reward.


I have a 500CM, where did you purchase your digital back and was the purchase worth it?

I don't care if it's mirrorless, DSLR, or TouchTone or dial telephone, the D850 is more technology for $2100 than pretty much anything else available today at that price.


And, a mirrorless is not going to render a better image.....it might make capturing easier.

I do not like the mirrorless because I have a lot of Nikon lenses that I can’t use on them Also I believe the 850 is a workhorse and also easier on batteries


Don't listen to Paul, he loves DSLRs.

WHAT??

You're going to spend 2024 money for a relic of the DSLRosaur age of photography, first released by Nikon in August 2017??

Great camera, but still, yesterday's camera. Watch for lightly used copies and get one today. Or, make the better decision and get a mirrorless camera.


What!!!! A camera without a mirror is useless. You must have the wonderful sound of that mirror flopping after each photo....music to my ears.

Hood news about Mark Hama.

Although I no longer need it, maybe you could pose a link to his web site and inform KEH as well.


Scotty,

Check your website, I just sent my phone number your way. Please give me a call.

It's not much to go on but maybe you can try contacting his daughter for more information.

Otherwise, maybe you can contact Hasselblad directly. https://www.hasselblad.com/


Scottie,

I called Hasselblad and spoke with a gentleman who directed me to send an email to support for instructions on what to do regarding repairs to my 500CM. I sent the email detailing my issues with the camera. I also went to David's website and the last sentence from his daughter said that all equipment pending estimates or awaiting repairs will be shipped back to the customers within the next few weeks. So, regarding someone who David trained or was in training seems not to be the case. At least she did not give any indication that there was someone else who might be taking on the repairs for David. Now, I can't remember who it was but someone here in the forum sent me a name (Mark Hama) who works on vintage cameras and who is supposed to be really good but slow. I sent my Yashica FX-2 film camera to him for service and any needed repairs about a month ago and he still has the camera; however, I just spoke with him and he assured me that the Yashica would be ready shortly. Also, he said that he is qualified to work on the Hasselblad. So, once I get my Yashica back, I will send the Hasselblad film back to him for repair.
