Hi Casey,
Thank you, this is very interesting. Whilst “the 15 minutes of fame” I receive these days is mostly for my candid photography with the M9, I have a soft spot for the “slow serenity” of medium format film photography. Shooting from chest or waist height with my Hasselblad 501 and wondering if I need to move left and up or right and down is a whole other experience that makes one feel like a photographer, if not actually look like one. When you’re taking a couple of minutes to compose and meter for one shot, time just seems to stand still.
I don’t see a neck strap on your camera.
I use a hand carry strap with my 501 when it’s not in the bag.
Similarly, whist looking for photography nirvana, I bought 2 film cameras last year:
First, I went into a shop to buy a lomography camera and instead left the shop with an olympus trip 35.
Second, I went to buy a used M6 from a dealer and left instead with an M3.
Cheers.
Richard.
