The Postman....
The postman has delivered!
After tracking the progress of my UPS package over the weekend (yes, I eventually decided on UPS because it was cheaper than KEH first quoted, and actually very affordable), I took delivery of that very package one day earlier than anticipated. Wedged inside a box stuffed with bubble-wrap (or Tension Sheets, as called in Red Dwarf
) was a very beautiful, shiny 1986-vintage Hasselblad 500ELX, plus batteries, in truly magnificent condition. I can now understand why people are so happy to praise KEH for their conservative grading system. Any cleaner and this unit would be considered brand new! Tested one of the two batteries, and the motor drive whirred with perfect confidence, as one would expect with a 'blad. The original batteries for the unit are no longer manufactured, so each battery supplied was actually a different type, jammed into a conversion shell and working nicely. Pity I can't test the FULL operation of the camera, but the initial tests are very good. Focusing screen is bright and undamaged, auxiliary shutter is nice and snappy, and controls are not loose or out of kilter. All-in-all a very good purchase! Still need a focusing prism, film back and lens, and no doubt I'll be seeing many weeks in the future spending sparingly on food in order to afford them
In other news, the second of my pencil drawings is now also up for sale, the very popular deviation 'Window to the Soul'
As with the previous drawing, offers are accepted, but remember that this is a very large piece, took a very long time to create, and is very dear to me (it's Michelle's eye!).
