I feel certain that I am one of a very small number of shooters who never used a Hassie. Squares just bothered me, and by the time I got to the Dalai Lama, we had an argument stretching across a couple of days about the virtues of the square (balance) and the rotating back Mamiya (flexible). OF course Hasselblad had done his up in a nice orange leather to match his robes. He showed me a small stack of b/w 5x5” prints he had made of single trees in bloom. The exciting thing about them was that he had made them.The Nikkor 105 was a good lens - much sharper than the 85 (which is sitting on the shelf behind me still attached to my first 1970 NIkkormat). Within a decade I had traded my Nikons for Canons for even money. People just got sucked in by the Nikon ads.art for cars: panowraps.com
