salut-s

My Hasselbladski arrived in record time from the Ukraine — less than two weeks. I bought it from Kubanoid who has a 99.6% approval rate and actually leaves eBay feedback before the customer does. That's rare! Everything seems to work fine. I get my first test roll back tuesday morning. If the spacing is even then all is well and it should be since Kubanoid ran a test roll through it.



It's a joy to use. A thing of beauty. It's not a stealth camera. Between the mirror (non-return) flying up and the metal focal plane shutter curtains being released it is on the noisy side. Definitely not like the ping of the leaf shutters I'm used too. But I have the Flexaret and Isolette if I need quiet.
