That Hassy is a thing of beauty.....LOVE it!!!

I've always wanted to pick up a C330 just to play with, I still shoot with 120 in my Holga and will never give it up. Dust those off and have some fun.
Patrick is a friend so let's continue the threadjack for "learning purposes".

I used the C330's for candids mostly and used my Hasselblad for portraits. I swear that camera shows absolutely no wear as I was so anal with it. The C3330's show wear but still in very good condition overall. Even though they had a twin lens, it was a great feature as I could shoot low speeds like 1/15 handheld, with no shutter movement and capture awesome available light. In my days, I could even do 1/8 handheld as long as objects weren't in motion.
I have been often tempted to pull them out and use them again but why bother with the film costs with digital being so easy to use? I might be tempted in the future to use them again for portraits of my grandson. I just need to get a new portrait background and been thinking of getting Alien Bees to update all my lighting. I would hate to buy new battery packs for all my Lumedynes. I still have all my lightboxes and umbrellas well maintained, as if new.
