hasselblad is a good camera...some say the best..the lens is also one of the world's best....
pictures taken by MF cameras are sharper clearer and better...
vintage cameras can still take good pictures but it depends on 3 factors 1 the camera and lens are well kept 2 the photographer is fairly competent 3 the view thinks its a good picture..

i feel vintage cameras are timeless.... there is something about things manufactured back in those days that makes it so valuable

i guess its because the society back in those days valued quality and stuff like that and not really about sales quota and profits.

once i have enough money i will get myself a hasselblad thats fer sure.

cheers

thanks, thinking of getting one soon. I now own a DSLR, I love using it, I like Photography, Cameras, and the history that comes with it(Vintage).

Dont know why, I feel I dont truly SEE photography without ever using a VIntage Camera(Not necessary to be HASSLEBLAD).

Would be finding out more. Thanks

Another great classic vintage camera is Rolleiflex TLR. It is still capable of producing image with superb quality, even by today standard. The Carl Zeiss lens of the Rolleiflex TLR is still unmatched by any other makers.

Image made with a Rolleiflex 3.5F

Check this out. Enjoy!

mm i feel you have to grow out of cameras to actually "See" what photography is really about.

its like after a while you dont really care what camera you use.... its about the eye,...its about the art
