  1. Kiev as far as I know is no more making cameras, Arax having stock of them and they do some

    sort of modifications on those cameras and selling for a higher prices, also Arax do not have the

    full range of Kiev lenses either.

     

    I have compared the prices, you can get a good condition hasselblad 500 C/M body for a better

    price then what Arax is selling for.

  2. I do not agree with our friend Wolf, hasselblad V series are so hard to get a problem with them,

    even if there was, it is mostly a mulfunction of the users, I bought my 80MM Lens with a little of

    defect, I was going to send the lens to a qualified repair shop but when my friend at foto-ku studio

    in pattaya/thailand seen it, he just moved the shutter ring and previous switch or so and the lens

    was all fine, it is since the most lens I used.

     

     

     

    I just bought from keh.com the F4 120MM Macro and it is on its way to me, again I am going to

    buy the 30MM hassy, I will not use any other camera during my next trips to Thailand and Sri

    Lanka, only Hasselblad 503CW, the CVF-39 back and the Hasselblad Xpan for my panorama

    landscape and 120 film backs.

     

    When I raised my question here, I was surprised to see the name Arax into same looking cameras like the hasselblad, looking from the outside, but now I know from all of the good people here that the different is so major.

     

    Non of these items are available in our world, some times when we make an order it is too late to cancel it, that why I keep asking the good people here to learn from their advices.

  3. I understand that the lab. might not have done a good job with my films, yet also this camera back

    is too large and I am not a technician to probably check if this back is closing ok or it is leaking

    light, I did check the seal and thats sound ok.

     

    Thank you all, for sure this time time will go to another lab.

  4. I understand that there is measures between hasselblad and its system comparing it with Arax system which

    is originally Kieve with some improvements.

     

    Yet I have seen some people here using kieve cameras and producing good result, the Arax system can be

    much cheaper in respect of buying different lenses and other parts like the film backs or prism finders and so

    on.

     

    The question, lenses like the 30MM, 150MM and the 80MM do they have a quality which makes them worth

    using or not?

     

    Thank you and wishing you all of the best.

  5. Thank you all, I always wanted this macro lens and with the set up I have, I hope it work ok for me.

     

    As long as it is not having any problem with the focusing screen, then it is all fine, thank you all for

    your input, it is very much appreciated, wishing you all of the best.

  6. Yes my friend Andy, these are very large slides, 6X17cm each frame work, I do have a medical x-

    ray light box and I can clearly see the distortions on the film, I have seen this even when I was in

    Sri Lanka before I return home but the lab man there kept denying that the fault is his and because

    I did not know what is wrong I couldn’t argue, I do not like to blame any one but my self.

     

    Thank you my friend a lot.

  7. Dear Matt, I did speak to the lab personnel and they told e that this has nothing to do with their

    processing of the film, not all but the majority of the films had this and some even more sign of this

    defects.

     

    The film to load from one spool to another is a long run, I am not sure yet what happened, also this

    lab in Sri Lanka and now I am back to my country, we do not have labs to process slide films any

    more here but I can test using negatives films.

  8. I used around 44 Fuji slide films while in Sri Lanka and given the whole lot to a small lab in Colombo to do the

    processing, most of the films ended with distortions, lines running down from the sky downwards which can be

    seen in the sample I am posting here, this sample just been scanned and re sized, no any alterations been

    made to it and the defect can bee seen on the sky and to right hand side of the image.

     

    I am not sure if this is caused by the camera itself, or is it because I been loading the film out door as the film

    run long from one point to another which makes it a subject for light, or is it because of the processing defects.

     

    I request you to advice please as I intend to use this camera on my next trips to Thailand and Sri Lanka again

     

    Thank you and all of the best.<div>00ZNMA-401001584.jpg.14ff73ecd98eea86127328d5883efe10.jpg</div>

  9. <p>Dear JDM, thank you for your input a lot, I am using 2X 503CW, 1X501C, 1X500C/M and the flex body, I have the 50, 80, 150 and the 250mm hasselblad lenses but I was thinking of using of macro lens and the fish eye lens which I do have for the Nikon.<br>

    Thank you again my friend and please my friend understand that for me it is very hard to deal with the English and I try fine things on the net but not easy as it is here with my friends.</p>

     

  10. <p>I know there are many whom making lens convertors for hasselblad lenses to fir Nikon cameras and I did find those ones on ebapy, the question is there any manufacturer who make an adopter for Nikon lenses to fi hasseblad cameras as I tried very hard searching the net and couldn’t reach any result.<br>

    Thank you and all of the best.</p>

  11. <p>My current comment score is 1621, has this any thing to do with getting the icon for the good comments as I had this icon before two month and lost now, I do a lot of lengthy and proper comments every day since my return.<br>

    Thank you and wishing you all of the best.</p>
