The only Hasselblad I have now is the SWC, which I use in combination with
some Mamiya 6 stuff. Even on the SWC they couldn't get the shutter release
right. It's rough and stiff and LOUD. Makes it much harder to get a sharp
picture than it should be, and a whole lot worse than the Mamiyas. It's
only smooth compared with the SLR 'Blads.
