My First Experience With A Hasselblad Medium Format Camera

Recently I was lucky enough to pick up a Hasselblad 500 EL/m from eBay. Surprisingly I only paid about $180 and it works perfectly. The only damage is has is some of the chrome parts are pealing, and the focus screen has some marks on it. Thankfully those do not effect the final images the camera produces.

The Hasselblad 500 EL/m for those who are not familiar with this type of camera is a Medium Format film camera that has a motor to move the film to the next from after an exposure

Film Camera Project

So I have my dads old Canon AE-1, 35mm film camera. He is not using it anymore due to he has a digital SLR. So I went out and tracked down a battery (found it at radio shack) and some Kodak 400 color film (found at CVS). The only problem with the film is it expires January 1, 2015 so I have to take 72 photos (3 rolls x25) before the end of the year. I'm sure I can do that lol. The other problem with film is getting it processed. So I found a place that is pretty close to me that seems to still do it Allens Camera in Levittown, PA from listening to Raw Talk on froknowsphoto.com.

So for only $30 I was able to get this camera working. Now to see what I can do with it. Once I take all the shots I'll get them developed and post them here.
