I think my Dad still has his Hasselblad he got when I was a kid. Great camera, he took a lot of great pictures with it.

I don't know how much it cost at the time, but I remember my mother being really upset. :icon_lol:

Panther,...if I'm not mistaken,...a Hasselblad with various goodies added to it can run north of $20,000 or so...

That 4 x 5 camera itself is a work of art.

I can't imagine using either one at the airshow, or taking 1,135 pictures with one while I was there. :icon_lol:

Brad,
For that particular model (not sure which it is), she said she paid $1800 USD for it....:mixedsmi:

That sounds about right
right now you can get a great deal on one
but a digital back costs a bunch
i used to have a 4x5 camera
a speed graphic
with an 8 film back
you do not take pictures in a hurry
but you do get good pics

Panther,...the top portrait camera looks like a Deardorff. Is it? And is it yours?
