Hassy got to me back in the early 1980's. I picked up a Hasselblad 1600
that came with a Kodak Ektar lens. Eventually, I got a wide, medium tele,
and tele lens for that classic Blad.
Then it was on to a 500c and the 80mm lens for it. I wanted to use the
camera for weddings. But, it was expensive to get additional lenses and
backs. In 1990, I picked up my Pentax 645. I liked the auto exposure that
the 645 gave me. I wished then, and today, that it had interchangeable
backs like the Hassy.
I sold the 500c and some of the backs. I still have the 1600. The shutter
works well. I show it off once in a while.
