John Harrington-WHAT WE USE - Hasselblad Kit

Thursday, January 24, 2008

Here's a video segment on the Hasselblad Kit that we use. A transcription of the video is available after the jump.

Transcript:
Hi, I’m John Harrington and we’re going to break out and break down the wide variety of equipment we use to deliver images to our clients. Next we are going to show you one of the equipment kits we use when we are traveling on assignment. Each kit is different and has a very specific purpose. So lets take a look.

This is our Hasselblad kit. Gotta blow a little dust off the Hasselblad kit, we haven’t used the Hasselblad in a long time.

In our Hasselblad though and something I haven’t gotten to the point where I can part with yet, our SWC/M allows us to shoot architectural work. An original 500 CM with a handgrip on it. Battery still works, still takes the picture.

2 Polaroid backs, redundancy on the Polaroid backs. This is our 500 ELM with the old school waist level viewfinder.  Several A12/A24 backs, 1 2 3. We have an 80mm/F2.8 T Star. One of my favorite lenses, the 30mm/F3.5 fisheye, a 120mm/F4, extension tube, an old back.

You can see that ones definitely been used a lot. And that’s what remains of our Hasselblad kit. Like I said, a little bit dusty, we haven’t used the Hasselblad in a while.

Hey john, I'm impressed that a digital guy like you still remembers how to load a roll of 120 film! Attaboy! This series is just fantastic. I'm wondering, though--you have a system that obviously works for you, but I note that you have stuff all together, whereas others I've seen split things apart so that the loss of one bag is not crippling. For instance, a primary Nikon kit and a secondary kit, or one body/lens that never leaves your person--rather than having all your Nikon or Canon eggs in one basket. just curious. And thanks again not only for doing this, but for putting it out there for all of us to enjoy. Your unselfishness with sharing what you know speaks to confidence and generosity.
