Hasselblad 500C/M Premium Professional Camera

As we often review in the world of photography, the most important and latest productions in terms of photography, we must stop at the Hasselblad camera (500C / M), despite its relatively newness, especially since it came to replace the (500CC) model, and it succeeded in turning into a camera for professionals all over the world from The most important features of this camera are its versatility, as it is basically a 2-camera with a square roll film, but with a change in the film booth, it can give 6 x 4.5 cm or 41 x 41 mm, and super slide pictures as well, in addition to the possibility of using it for the back of a Polaroid or even to accommodate film 70 mm. It can also be used as an alternative to eyepieces, screens and lenses.

What can be pointed out is that this camera is complex and difficult to use, as well as getting used to it, as it is characterized by a large number of safety locks that the photographer usually gets lost in between. Hence, we can then take the same shot in black and white and then in color, once we replace this back. It is known that each back has its own mechanism, as the film can be installed and presented towards the first frame even when it is outside the camera.

The handle for wrapping the film, if it is present, is located on the camera body on the right side of it.
Since every single language presents the film as one frame, and also prepares the shutter for this work, and the speed regulator is located around the lens, given that this lens is equipped with an implicit Leaf Shutter, and the speeds here range from 1/500 of a second up to one second, in addition to (B) measurement The lens is 80mm f / 2.8. On the lens there is a P / C socket for the flash, and with this bladed shutter, the electronic flash can be synchronized at all shutter speeds, and the lens can be stopped low to view the depth of field in advance. In addition to the shutter in the lens, there is an additional shutter in the camera body to protect the film when changing lenses when the bolt is loose.
When the shutter button is pressed, the two additional shutter shutters open, and the mirror rises away from the path of light, and only here the real shutter opens and closes. It is known that the noise that cameras make during photographic operations is a disturbing work. From here, Hasselblad proceeded to add its operation to transform photography.

An implicit pre-release operation that allows most of the operations required to be accomplished through the actual-release shutter on lens operation alone, and in almost total silence. As for the viewfinder, it is the one that opens upwards at the blades, except for exposure.

Waist and on the screen there are intersecting lines in the middle that help to define or align the subject. There is also a magnifier for precise and difficult focus, and there are many types on both levels of the screen. Or a viewfinder to choose the appropriate ones as accessories with the camera.

It is also worth mentioning that this mechanical camera does not contain any type of battery, although it persists in performing all its functions year after year.
There is no expression in it, of course. But what is known is that we can secure many expressions in many ways or with separate devices.

We also mention that the lens comes from • Carl Zeiss, as is the case with Pan Optics - Hasselblad. This lens yields impressive results relative to 35mm cameras, and many find the tripod to be an essential Hasselblad accessory, as it is made to last forever and do the most work possible, for the hefty weight of such a standard camera. From a simple review of this camera, we know that it is intended for the professional who seeks the summit (500 C / M).

More automated processes

The smallest 35mm AF motorized camera is the Konica MG clam shell camera with built-in flash.

The new camera from. Konica Corporation, came with a great deal of compactness and light weight, with a small scale, as it does not exceed the size of the inside of the palm, and despite that, it advances with all the required advantages, especially in the field of its automatic operations, such as installation, rewinding, rewinding, exposure and focus, all this in addition to the flash. The implicit electronic, with an implicit lens cap as well, and of the clam shell type.

Konica MG is characterized by an automatic film synthesiser that allows installation without any confusion, even by the inexperienced photographer, as it is enough to enter the language of the film and close the back of the camera, after which the implicit engine advances the film automatically up to the first frame. So that the camera is ready to work. After each exposure, Konica works automatically to advance the next frame, and when the language ends, the red light flashes indicating that the stop key must be pressed to work automatically on rewinding the film.

It can be said that Konica (MG) limits the work of the photographer to adjusting the frame of the image that he wants to capture.
There is a red light that flashes within the viewfinder when the flash is needed
The tacit one that will automatically select the correct exposure location for well-lit photographs taken from a distance of up to 16 feet.
