Affordable Hasselblad Digital?

Post by Mike »

The Hasselblad 31 MegaPixel medium format camera is now on the market for $17,995.00. Finally an affordable professional digital unit. I would only have to sell the Car and some other stuff too (soul maybe?) to even begin to think of buying one. ;-) :roll:

PS Sarcasm (the lowest form) is running quite high here. . . . :]

Selling ones soul, living off immoral earnings…… I’ve heard of enthusiastic hobbyists. Perhaps it’s me, but is this not taking things a wee bit too far.
What would you do, or what have you done in an overenthusiastic moment for your hobby ? Come on, spill…..

Regards. Tom.

I usually tell my girlfriend i'm working and then disappear for the day armed with my camera. Other than that i use a program called omnipage where i can alter text which i have got off the internet to alter prices of camera equipment just to show her and she just sees a cheap item, not the true one
ie a £600 camera quickly becomes a bargain at £350
I hang my head in shame

Lee all that soul baring - be careful, especially if you both intend coming to the post Christmas meal - you may need that caravan after all, unless you want to add bribery of Club members to your list of misdemeanours, and keep it our little secret?
