Sunday chaos

[polypal]

This morning I found a nice mess of cameras and other items on the little table in my office.
The remains of a week using the recently found 553ELX and my oldest SWA camera.
The rest of the gear was use to check compatibility or to take pictures from for the forum.

A good opportunity to bring the stuff back to where it belongs.

Old and not so old

Nice CHAOS

What is the top left corner one ? ? ?

I bet , you wanted to ask me that . But an answer would be nice anyway .

Jürgen,

That is just an old SWA. Nothing special. I got some more of those.
The last one I saw made only 388 euro.
Nobody wants these old things anymore. Too complicated.
Transport film and cocking a shutter is too much work.
Everybody wants a 903 or 905 these days.
Hasselblad missed the 904. But that was a Porsche racing car......

Ah, you finally received the SWA that you plan to have cut into 2 halves with a diamond cutting blade, so that people can see what a Biogon looks like inside?

Interesting, I am sure interested in the finished display!

Hi Wilko,

I only need half an SWA so I am open for offers on the other half.....
Once the camera is cut in two sections it can not be glued back together.

I do not see why but a local expert in optics said so.

Hm, the other half might be interesting for my own display. Lets discuss this offline.

Maybe we should find a suitable CFV to dissect too? That would nicely complement the SWA-twin :happy: I guess HB should have a few writeoffs with loose tiltsensors etc.

As for glueing it together, half of the world are stitching their panorama pictures together so why wouldn't that work for a Biogon-created image with a slight flaw due to the glue?

Nasty people , wanting to put a SWA into two parts and then glue together again . :z04_hinterherjagen:

How can HASSELBLAD users ever have such ideas ? ? ? Shame on you .

I know Hefeweizen (intimately) and Hefeweizen never told me to do this.

Perhaps a little TOO MUCH Hefeweizen is the probelm here? Too much of a good thing can make otherwise sensible people do very strange things.

Wise words.. but remember that the opportunity for a good practical joke should always be seriously considered..
