There it is. I now own a Hasselblad. So, now will I find my way back into the darkroom. Will it make me a real photographer?...I'm pretty happy though, I can't afford this right now, but the price was too good to turn down. Picked it up from a friend who was happy to pass it along to somebody he knows. It has a sentimental value to it, it was Hank's first Hasselblad, and now it's my first...The vibe is good and I'm anxious to run some film through it.

Can't wait to see what you do with it.
Ted, My Man.....what a gas! If only that Hassie could talk. The tales it will tell through your eyes, will bring pleasure to all who see!
I can't tell you what warmth it gave me to see my old friend on your site...warm, welcoming, challenging...enticing. Maybe even enchanting. When I first knew I had to challenge myself with a Blad, it took me probably 5-6 years before I got there. When it finally happened....I was never the same after.
I wish for you the same...and more. My faults were revealed...my solutions enhanced....my creativity was opened, all in ways that regular glass obscured.
Your have a wonderful eye...and a great sense of spontaneous beauty. May Hassie and you make a long-term team!
P.S. If you EVER want to part with it....I hope you can find a continuation for its pride and pleasure in another shooter!! If not....you know where it belongs!! No questions asked....
