I have had my camera serviced now. I was wondering, could anyone post a hi res scan they have from a hasselblad so i can see what kind of sharpness i'm aiming for?

very west cornwall

Doe's anyone have a hi-res scan then can upload that is really sharp. Just to see what i'm aiming for

Hi I've had a go with another lens and haven't got anything sharp back. I was shooting at f/11 most of the time on a tripod. It seems to be softer in the middle (still not that sharp at edges) which i guess points towards film not sitting flat. After i loaded a film i pulled the dark slide...

As you said it is seating properly. If it is the lens, what can be done to fix it? Is there anywhere in the uk?

My friend has a slightly newer but the same model, lens and back as myself. So you suggest keeping my back and body the same and switching lenses? I have just done a video of the mirror to see if anything is wrong. Is the slight buckling a problem? http://tinypic.com/player.php?v=os4ohz&s=6

The screen has 4 screws in each corner securing it and they all have a clear superglue substance over them... I've done a few portraits at 2.8 to get a nice background blur so wasn't particularly surprised to see them out of focus but I put that recent film through to test and did some at f/8...

I've put another film through it and it seems to be focusing in a different place to where the viewfinder shows. I took a shot of some lettering at an angle and focused on the 'e' but that was out of focus and the ones further away were in. Same deal with some full body portraits. The focus...

Hi I have a hasselblad 500c with an 80mm 2.8 Put a few films through it now and not one shot is really sharp. I'm not expecting super mega sharpness but it always seems to be off. And the edges seem to be in focus, the center is always off. What could be going wrong? Here are my ideas...

Hi I have this scanning issue that i can't seem to resolve. My guess is that the neg isn't completely flat on the glass... It's only a cheap flatbed epson scanner so i wasn't expecting much but is there anyway i can get rid of this and what is it called? Many thanks

Hi I have recently bought a hasselblad 500c and a sekonic L308b. I'm having issues with metering as its been a long time since i have done it. I'm trying to get my head around the best technique for metering some situations... For example lifestyle/candid shots where you can't go up to...

Hi I was wondering what everyone reckons this shot was taken with?

Haha kev, i do have a mamiya but i often crave speed and reliability. Really like the colour/feel to these, particulary the bottom one. http://bentrovatoblog.com/wp-content/uploads/joseph-tran_ben-trovato02.jpg Wonder if that could be achievable?

Hi I like the feel of these. Film or not? http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4039/4273348516_e4605d53d6.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2693/4249774350_a52138f9aa.jpg
