this video was really helpful for me. Clearly the most informative video about Hasselblad I've ever seen! thank you:)

First let me say a BIG thank you for straight forward explanation of this camera series. I just bought one and was looking for a video on how to use. After watching this video, I know the anatomy of the camera and dos and donts. I am so grateful for you sharing your knowledge of this masterpiece and of course add to the thumbs up and indeed subscribed! off to watching more of your videos on Hasselblad. Again thank you! GRATITUDE!

I love these videos. I hope you keep posting on this subject!

Definitely the most useful and straight to the point, honest well filmed 501c video i’ve seen!

A truly excellent channel - sooo helpful - big thanks!

As others have said, this really is the best intro video to this system and it is greatly appreciated! :)

Factual and quick to point

So helpful, thank you!

Only Just found this channel after buying a 500 cm and SWC , Excellent oration with simple instructions ! Well worth the last few hours catching up on all your programmes so far!

Thank you so much for making this video! The explanations are in-depth and easy to understand!

I don't wanna talk about the series of photos I took w/o the film being properly in the box... THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! for this video🙏

What helpful videos! Buying a 500 c/m with 80mm and 150mm. Very excited. Thank you for these videos!

Thank you once again for the helpful series of videos Jonathan. I have recently bought a very nice 500c/m as a result.

Great video, easy to understand. However, there are two things you did not mention (which, sadly, most You Tubers don't mention either) - 1.When attaching a film back to the camera after loading film, ALWAYS check to be sure the camera shutter is cocked and ready to fire before attaching the back. 2. For some strange reason, no how-to videos seem to address the Red/White indicators on the film back, and on older 500 series bodies. On the film back, white indicates a fresh, unexposed frame ready to shoot. Red indicates an exposed frame, and must be advanced before firing the shutter. On some 500 series models, there's also a Red/White indicator on the body, very close to the indicator on the film back. On the body, when it's red, the shutter needs to be cocked. When it's white, the shutter is cocked and ready to go. In short, you need to see both as white before firing the camera. Two reds mean you have just fired the camera, and now need to cock the shutter, which will also advance the film to the next frame. With a mix-match of red & white, you need to remove the film back, and either cock or fire the camera. Note - Both indicators should always match in color.

our videos are brilliant and very helpful. thank you.

Hello Mr. Harris. My name is Richard Williams, 71yr old from Tulsa, Oklahoma and a photo enthusiast from 1965, can't stop, or care too. I'm using Lumix G9 and Nikon D850 and wanting to get back to the roots of my beginning with film. That being said my question is. I'm having a hard time understanding and finding any information on the difference between the Hasselblad 503CW and the 503cxi. Any information you could share with me would be so appreciated. I have both models available near meb in new plus condition with all papers and boxes at the $2,500 price range. Your videos are awesome with very helpful information. Take care and thanks ahead of time.

Would like to see something like this on the Hasselblad H-System film cameras.

Congratulations,j Jonathan for your knowledge. Are you a camera lover or do you work with cameras?

Hello Jonathan. Not sure if you are still seeing these comments. This video was extremely helpful and probably one of the best I have see providing an overview of the 500 series. I have a question ...I am looking to get a 500series Hasselblad for landscape (mostly B&W) ...what lens woould you suggest as my first lens . Thanks

Hello Jonathan, My 503cw exhibits a little back focus issue with all lenses. Is there a solution I can run on my own? Please make a video on this if you can. Thank you.

When life gets blurry adjust your focus & snap with Hasselblad.

Hey Jonathan, I recently bought the left hand grip for my 500CM. However the bottom plate screw mount secures the camera just short of the shutter trigger making contact with the shutter. My bottom mount shoe has both the mounts, the handgrip only has a ¼ mount screw. When this is attached to my camera bottom plate mount, the trigger of the hand grip doesn’t make contact with my shutter. If I push the camera forward, the shutter trigger does make contact but the screw is too small for the bottom plate mount and the camera isn’t secured in the grip. Do you have any suggestions for this dilemma? Many thanks

There should be 56mm by 56 mm image size, not 60. Thanks for video!

Is it really 60x60 or 56x56mm?

Hi Jon. I just got a 503cw. One odd thing i noticed was the the acute matte D screen split prism is will be half-black unless i look at it at a very specific angle. Is this a common quirk of the camera?

The leather coverings on my Hasselblad equipment is Sticky! How should I clean it?

Where do the notches on the left side come from?

What are the biggest differences between the 500's/501's/503's?

Would it be worthwhile to get a 100mm 3.5F lens for portraits?

I sold mine years ago because of the digital camera 📷 now I am very sad 😥 😢 now 😳

I really have a problem focusing.
