The all-mechanical Hasselblad 500C/M with its standard 80mm F2.8 lens and an A12 (6×6) film magazine. This camera needs no introduction. The all-mechanical ingenuity that is a historical monument in the art of photograph itself. The square 6×6 format is partly the reason album covers are still square format til this day. The 500 series has even been to the moon. This particular body is equipped with sync ports on the side that will give you the option to sync a digital back to the auxiliary shutter in the body or the PC sync port on the lens itself (to sync with the leaf shutter). A very nice option for those who wish to shoot medium format on a smaller, more lightweight body.

The shutter should be stored in a cocked state, i.e. wind the back after every shot. VERY IMPORTANT: DO NOT MOUNT OR UNMOUNT THE LENS IF THE SHUTTER IS NOT COCKED. The drive shaft for the lens (to cock the leaf shutter in the lens) can break if it is not in the correct orientation. The dark slide needs to be inserted before removing the back. The dark slide needs to be removed before shooting (shutter button is blocked). When you shoot, hold down the shutter button – do not release it immediately after pressing. The secondary curtains in the body only stay open as long as the button is held down. Don’t lose or bend your dark slides; you won’t be able to insert them, and without the dark slide in, you can’t remove the back, and there’s nothing to block the shutter from firing accidentally in a bag. Always wind the camera before attaching a back – if not, when you wind it, you’ll lose a frame. The right procedure for assembling a camera is 1. wind body; 2. attach lens (check that the little slot in the lens’ mount lines up with the dot, if it doesn’t, use a coin or screwdriver to turn it in the direction of the arrow – this is to cock the lens shutter); 3. slide in finder of choice; 4. load and attach back – this is a whole separate section on its own. *Taken from Ming Thein's blog.
