Portraits with the Hasselblad 500c/m

[@chriscorey5164]

Totally worth it when you see the outstanding results of a medium format negative.

[@gregkiefer4718]

You got some decent results for your first time out. That camera has a wicked steep learning curve. But that sweet shutter sound…. 👍👍👍.

[@blackbelt4488]

Nice video. Hint: just keep the dark slide in your pocket until you get through with your session.

[@ramseykiefer]

Ill remember this for the next hassy session

[@Dkouki97]

Dude I can relate so much with the dark slide. I would always frame up a cool portrait and guess what....lol

[@ramseykiefer]

It can be a vibe killer for sure haha

[@tb-media]

Just leave it outside as long as you don't have to take the magazine off

[@anthonymiller8979]

Love my 500CM but I just leave the slide out until I am done shooting for the day or drive to a new spot.

[@ramseykiefer]

I’ll remember that for next time ;)

[@tonymonaghan5993]

@@ramseykiefer There's no shutter lock. Best sticking it back in if you think you're going to risk knocking the shutter.

[@StillWinding]

You’re so right about film being slow and MF being sloooooow. I got my Hasselblad a couple months ago and I’ve been loving it.

[@ramseykiefer]

It makes you slow way down! What lens you rocking with it?

Always look forward to these, can imagine it's hard to keep momentum growing but hope you continue. Never shot with a Hassy before, on my interchangeable back Mamiya 645 there's a holder for the dark slide and I just keep it there, doesn't affect the roll, so you could probably keep in in your pocket until you're ready to rewind the film. I like the shot of your brother where you missed the train in the background, but a lot of these were great. I love 6x6 personally, and for both of your first MF I would be very happy with these results.

[@ramseykiefer]

Eli and i both need to practice our focus pulling tho. We struggled to hit focus on most of our shots

[@saraalvarez2173]

@1:30 Had to flick the box cause you don’t get the same satisfaction from flicking the end of a 35mm film 😂 I still haven’t shot with a 120mm film camera, looks fun though!

[@ramseykiefer]

Haha you know how it is! You should give it a try! It’s so much fun!

[@gabgallant]

You guys ate all those poses.

[@ramseykiefer]

And they were yummy!

[@Officialhaircareking]

The dark slides😂

[@ЕвгенийМалышкин-з6к]

👍

[@jogrev]

Hey guy, excellent aventure!!! I just make a comment: It is necessary to pay more attention to the focus. To close a little the iris could be a good option!!! The Carl Zeiss lens are one the best around the world!!! When you read with an incident light meter, you can read the shadow area and then close the iris 1 or 2 stops 👍

[@ramseykiefer]

Jose! Thank you for your wise words!! 👌🏼👌🏼

Hasselblad V systems are engineering design marvels. Every feature and process is done to avoid mishaps, components are designed and are there for real purpose. Take the Dark Slide for instance, it has to be in to remove the film back otherwise the release tab is locked and you cant take it off. The processes are basically safety features to help insure you don't accidentally expose your film or break something. MF is a slow process for good reason which is why when done right you will get the most amazing photos you ever shot.

[@ramseykiefer]

Well said!

[@diannaedillor]

I feel your pain about the dark slide its either a hit or miss for me because of that

[@ramseykiefer]

Very true

[@jeffthatcherphotography]

you dont know how many shots i missed cause i forgot to pull that f*cking dark slide. but at the same time that shit has saved my ass too lol but what i do to prevent the dark slide crap from happening is ill keep it out, take a shot, but wont advance until im ready to shoot the next frame. that way i dont accidentally take a blurry shot of the ground (dont ask me how i know that). also, the prism has a way better shooting experience than the waist level. but admittedly it doesn't look nearly as cool as the waist level

[@Philippe1952]

I never forget the dark slide on my Blad … because it’s never on.

[@ramseykiefer]

You found a way to beat the system!

[@bryanz5904]

Rolleiflex might be quicker, but the back of the camera connot be changed. Hass is better choice for future,

[@toho45]

Hassy is more fun than rollei TLR but rollei being much lighter. I don’t like to bring out my old C distagon out nowadays

[@Blackmind0]

to close the film-pack you should not only press, this will kill the hook...use your dumb to move the knob to the side...
