I live in Portland, OR but I don't mind sending out if the quality is good.

I have recently purchased a Pentax 645 camera body only, I also
purchased a AF lens (SMC Pentax-FA 75mm f2.8) from another source.
I cannot get manual mode whilst shooting (I take the lens off its A

I would like to use the Nikon SB800 flash on my Hasselblad 500C/M. Is
it possible? If so, what sync cord and/or adaptor should I get?

i am considering of using an automatica flashlight to do fill-in
flash.  in many cases, the add-in flash should be in the similar

Anybody know what's going on?  Is the digital revolution slowly strangling
B&H's inventory of films?

It's definitely worked:

a small amount would have benefited.

Is it possible to redesign (by factory or third party) an existing CF
