Analog Fever

I think I may be re-addicted to film. Instead of finishing my paper on the Olympic industry and propaganda, I loaded up my old Olympus OM2 and shot some expired 35mm film. Then I couldn't help but catalog some of the gear my grandfather left to me - as far as medium format goes:

Hasselblad 503CX with 80mm lens (my personal favourite)
Hasselblad 500ELX with 120mm lens (auto-winder)
Hasselblad 500CM with 80mm lens (the industry standard)
Hasselblad 2000FC with 150mm lens (gorgeous studio camera)
Hasselblad Super Wide C with 38mm lens (super vintage with no film back)
80mm lens (should fit the 2000FC)
50mm lens (should fit the 2000FC)
2x teleconverter (should fit the 500/503)

There's also a Nikon FE2, Konica FS1 (first camera with a built in motor-drive), and a whole slew of flashes, filters, adapters, bellows, cables, light meters, and other great stuff. It's going to take me years to sift through it all. My poor Olympus DSLR might just feel a little out of place (not that I don't already shoot vintage glass on it via an OM to 4/3 adapter.) Time to pickup some 120mm film!
