:D I knew I would be among friends. I look forward to those shots, Adam. Will be very interesting.

 

I believe all 40mm, from the C through CF FLE to CFE FLE and CFE IF FLE have 0,5m. Due to focus shift the C lens isn't recommended to use at closer than 0,9m though.

 

Unfortunately (for me) the widest F/FE lens is 50mm, but those lenses focus to 0,32m (the C series 50mm lenses "only" focus to 0,5m).

 

But the 40mm lenses are heavy. The C weighs in at 1300g, the CF at 900g and the other two at 890g and 1100g.

I'd be weighing up the concept of adding the SWC instead of a wide. Yes, it's another camera, but if it is a similar price then the only hardship is the decision of which camera to take.

If you haven't decided by then, you can have a hands on trial of mine in August next year.

Gary

Bonjour Henri,   I still prefer black and white film (I use almost no colour). The advantages of digital don’t mean much to me. Seeing instant results is not so useful, since what comes out of a cam

I agree with Eoin, very good shots Marc.

 

All you SWC fanatics probably already know about this thread, but just in case you don't:

 

RFF | Hasselblad SWC is cool

Thank you, Philip - Every time I manage to push my multi-decade desire for a SWC to some dim, dark recess of my troglodyte-friendly mind, someone has to go and throw another light switch on, and the moth-instincts start all over again...

When sporting an L lens one has to look the part.

90 Elmarit-M Vista 200 (EI100)

I dress this way, too, when carrying any of my L-series lenses. I find that the EF 300 f/2.8L MkII is particularly fetching against a black satin dress...

 

Nice shot, Philip. I like the contrast with the soft colours of the stonework.

Brilliant, Pete.  Really like this one.

Love this one, Christoph.  Shame on you for not posting large :(

Great colors, Gary.  What film?

 

The progress in this thread is awesome. Aside from a lot of useful information regarding films and equipment it is a pure joy to see the world through the eyes (and lenses) of so many people. I hope you don`t mind adding a different note by publicizing my rather run-off-the-mill shots, mostly done on expired film and, lately more often with non-Leica cams. Here comes another shot on Kodak 200:

Perfectly classic, James.   A keeper for sure.  So crisp.

 

Third for me !!!

 

Thanks, Jean Marc!!

These won't be helping poor Philip with his decision making. I have also behind the scenes given him something to consider, a used SWC on the market. I LOVE spending someone else's money.

That's the idea, Gary.  Trying to keep Philip on that chair until he is cured of his ailment :)

I took this picture while changing the film in my SE on the roof of the dome of Milano

 

My favorite camera.  I literally wore mine out traveling.  I still have it, but it needs serious work.  Yours looks much better than mine, want to trade?

I've been traveling a bit, first to New Mexico to ride motorcycles, then St. Louis to visit a very seriously ill friend, and back to Florida.  I did get to shoot a roll of film though, I will post a few after I develop it.  Until then, one from a few years back.  501C, Tri-X rated at 200, Rodinal 50:1, Canon flatbed scan.
