Hasselblad 553 ELX arrived today

[reverberation]

Thats a great camera, I think its a real smart move to send it right to a tech. The Bronica should be nice to shoot with as well. Looking forward to seeing how these cameras perform.

Thanks, I got some 120 Ilford B&W film but the Bronica came with a 220 back. Although I know I can get away with running the 120 in the back, I know its not a good Idea because it can mess up the counter. I do have a 120 back coming from Shutter blade that I bought last night so I will be set once it gets here.

Here is an interesting note for those who might be interested. I talked to Tamron today, and I found out they are still repairing Bronica's and the lenses. I was told they will be doing so until at least 2011. So at least repair is currently available if necessary. As cheap as bodies and lenses are for Bronica, I imagine it might be cheaper to replace than to repair.
