Hassy Arrives!

Got the Hasselblad today as promised by the seller. It's cleaner and more pristine than I could have imagined. It really does look like it's never been used. At all. Someone got a really nice gift once upon a time and barely took it out of the box. Would love to know the back story, but the new story is this baby will finally have a life. I feel like I've adopted a rescue dog that was kept in a basement or attic....  Every original thing is in the box; all the packing, wrapping, etc. It's a beautiful. It will take some getting use to, but I'm excited to have it home and test it out. My sync cords to my Alien bees work; all my peripherals fit; monopods, tripods, etc. I just need to learn to compose backwards; in mirror image, but that's ok... There are many little do's and don'ts on handling, loading film, changing magazines, etc, which I'm learning from youtube. Glad there are other people geeking out harder on this than me, and that those generous souls have taken the time to document their geekdom on youtube :) It's amazing what I've learned in 3 days.. Looking forward to more.
