[Leica] Some say Hasselblad must only be used on tripod...

[Ted Grant]

Yes and I too used Hassleblads..... 3 x 500C's....1 X SWC  The 500c's quite
often all three at the same time no different than using 3 LEICA "M's" at
the same time. One on each shoulder and one around the neck! All different
lenses. Or two 500 C's one on each shoulder and the SWC on the neck. A
couple of magazines in the PHOTO-VEST pouches and a half dozen rolls of
film.

Yep and the assignment dictated using a tripod or not. About 95% of the time
hand held. "FLASH?" please explain meaning of the word "FLASH?"  :-) Thank
you.

cheers,
Dr. ted :-)

Lots of people who did everything with a Hasselblad and no tripod also did
most of that with a flash. You could do that at 1/500th of a second and be
there.
Hasselblad use has an unusual effect in which people swear you have to use a
tripod or that its made for hand held use.. And never the twain show meet.
Me I did a whole lot of all combinations including flash with tripod both.
The tripod was more about continuity and convenience that solidity when used
with a flash. When you shoot a Polaroid and use a tripod obviously you get
the same shot when you switch to a roll film back.
