  1. Although a bit more work, you can always purchase a decent medium format scanner and turn 120 slides into 150MB files. I use a Nikon Super Coolscan 8000ED which I bought new many years ago.
  2. The digital Nikon solution sounds pretty easy. I have been using for years, my Nikon Super Coolscan 8000ED but the software these days is rather buggy.
  3. The first thing I recommend to the buyer of a 500 EL/M or any of the later models with the Palpas anti-reflective coatings is to treat them with that Aerospace 303 stuff. It keeps the cracking from getting any worse. I have no idea why Has had to introduce that stuff and not really do their homework first. I have both a 503CW and the 500 EL/M and aside from the size, the 500 EL/M is quite handy! With today's 9V battery adaptors, they perform quite well. One thing to be cautious of is the battery compartment latch. They can be damaged easily and then you need to call Hassy in NY to send you a replacement latch--nearly $40! But it does save a nice EL/M.
  4. The Superachromat is a terrific lens. I personally think it's worth it to avoid color aberration issues as you get above 100mm. Much like the ED glass for Nikon, the additional cost is worth it if you shoot longer lens subjects.
  5. This is certainly the time to take advantage of lesser crowds in places that are routinely packed. I'm enjoying it!
  6. The Hassy of course shoots without a lens mounted. It also shoots without a magazine installed. These are fairly simple objects and are not difficult to get in synch. (I have a 500 EL/M and a 503CW.
  7. I have to say I'm pleased with the Hasselblad imager and optics in the DJI Mavic Pro 2.
