  1. Step one is take off the lense. The tight cap prevents the warm snuggly sunlight from penetrating the seal. Grasp the cap firmly and twist as you feel the release of tension on the threads. Allow the cool air to rush in lens chamber and swirl around a bit. Use your muscles to aim and point the camera towards the subject.
  2. Oh my! Sounds troubling. Let's start with the silly strap. Adjust that so you can get the light leak fixed. Get some Razzles and make some fizz in your mouth. Iron out all those cupcakes. I always wanted to measure the length between my face and your house. That's usually how far it is from me to your house, generally.

     

    Try riding a bike. It's good exercise and it saves the envrionment from you. Lean into curves and use hand signals. Use the bank drive thru more. No need to get out of the car. Same for big macs.

     

    Do you have a land surveyor's tripod contraption? Set that up and look at everyone's roofs. Usually they are pointy. Good. Keep at it.

  3. If I had a chance at a different life, I would probably marry a girl named Natty. We could live in an apt with big ceilings and have cats. I could make programs and read books and watch battlestar galactica. I would break 400 calories in 15 minutes. It's just a thought.
  4. I totally agree with slap ded. It sounds like a plan. Pants!

     

    Make sure the foil and silly light trap do not come in contact with each other untill installed. It could cauase a fire and make your fingernails dark.

     

    Time babes. Daves. Lode runner. Milky vanilla cd holder. Milkshake strap! Mad props to Chic-Fil-A. Combine your gymnastic backbends with a hair dryer.

  5. "such as light showing in negative border and image on right side of image = dark slide light leak

     

    light showing on image as horizontal line none on negative border = bad body shutter... "

     

    My personal view is that light showing on a horizontal image with a light leak = pure kettle corn and butter. The kind that sticks to your fingers. Gooey.

  6. anyway... any suggestions or experiences would be great, thank you.

    Well, if you must..... one time I went to Niagra Falls with my husband, Ben. We went up to the fall's edge and leaned on the railing over the water. We strolled up the lane, casually observing the tourists and nature in the area. We even had ice cream late in the evening. It was a wonderful and flavorful experience. There's an experience for you.

  7. I recently purchased a Hasselblad that works underwater and in the dark. It shoots out a neon beam of slim laser light that cuts through the air like a knife cuts through butter. The sun's rays are reflected off of the back of the camera and beam directly into your eyes. It works in the dark using a flashlight. I made it waterproof by putting it in a ziplock bag.

     

    For a small incremental price, you can install deer horns on the front to atract wildlife and birdies for nature shots. It is also collapsable and you can fit it into your refrigerator or oven.

     

    I am the first person on my block to have one! My neighbors were so impressed with it that when I showed it to them, they wept. I had to sweep up their tears with my kitchen broom.

  8. Ok I checked on the movie and its not true. But I did discover something else: there is no action level mechanism on earlier models of the Hasselblad. I don't think you will be able to fix your light leak. The only way I know how is sort of complicated. You will need: a suitable bridge, a mountain, and approximately 500 feet of chord. Bascially, tie the camera to one end of the chord and tie the other end to the bridge. Now, let the camera go. If all goes right, it will swing down at a fast pace and strike the mountain. (the camera may instead hit a barge on the river- this is acceptable, too) Once your camera breaks, goto Walmart and buy a camera made in this century. Since the invention of photography in 1826, camera prices have really come down. You don't have to buy a hundred year old camera anymore. There are also cameras that store information elctronically. These are called "Digital Cameras", I beleive. You also don't have to ride a horse to work anymore, either. Last century human beings created automobiles. These vehicles use combustion and run on grape juice.

    I hope that all of this is helpful. Chow.

  9. My son also has a Hasselblad Camera. It was known during the 1950's to be very strong and durable. But many people claim that they can see odd lights on the film. I wasn't aware of this so I started asking around and reading up on the forums. Basically, I was told to revisit the movie Ghost. They say that the lights Patrick Swayze see are the same as on the film. I haven't personally verified this yet though. Any thoughts?
