Hello, all. I'm a long-time 35mm shooter and I've also had some MF experience, first with Yashica TLRs in my youth and now with a couple of Rollei TLRs. I shoot mostly travel pictures with the Rollei and 35mm (Leica, Contax and Nikon F, and family portraits with all the above.
I've come here to lurk and learn about the Hasselblad system with an eye to moving up one day soon.

Hi Vic.....welcome to the forum! My first medium format camera was also a TLR (Mamiya C220...and I still have it). I always dreamed of owning a Hasselblad someday (interchangeable film backs was the thing I wanted most)....finally got one a few years ago. Never looked back. Prices of used gear are very reasonable (though heading upwards). I never thought I could own a complete Hasselblad system, but thanks to digital, film gear is so much cheaper now.

Get a Hasselblad camera.....you won't regret it.
