Hasselblad 503CX Medium Format Film Camera

Great camera. If you're a serious photographer/ artist like me or a professional photographer, this is a "go to" camera. Although the digital market is still improving, it's just that, the technology is still improving, so picking up an "old school" camera and scanning the negatives is a far cheaper route for a large print file.

The camera itself is everything I love about photography. It's certainly a significantly slower process than when I shoot with my DSLR, but I'd rather compose a few great shots opposed to scattering for images. The Hassy is reknown for it's quality and the images I've taken have the exceptional clarity to support that reputation.

The focus is sharp and bright and it operates like it should. It's lighter than other medium format SLRs and is worth the money. I'd even call it an investment because it will still be a professional level camera 5 or 10 years from now while my DSLR becomes obsolete in 2-3 years. I picked up some accessories like a quick tripod mount and another lens. What's great about the Hassy V series is that it's compatible with most of the lenses and film backs. The only wish is for the industry to bring back 220mm film so I can shoot more before reloading.

Peace, and long live slow photography.
