No sireee - not forgotten at all. My knee, back and shoulder problems will not let me forget. All I'm trying to communicate is that with that mirror slap and light trap my C and CM did not make best use of the glass at a 1/30th, 1/60th or even 1/125th hand held. For me quality from the 'blad meant: 1) lots of light or 2) strobes (see one above) or 3) mirror up or 4) tripod pick one Regards, George Lottermoser george at imagist.com http://www.imagist.com http://www.imagist.com/blog http://www.linkedin.com/in/imagist On Aug 17, 2009, at 11:15 AM, Mark Rabiner wrote: >> >> Other than that technique for people >> I also find the 'blad requires a tripod (and pre trip) >> or >> nice studio strobe lighting. >> >> Regards, >> George Lottermoser > > > You guys forget Hasselblad was the dominant wedding camera in the > past last > half of the century.
