I felt sorry for you because you crashed your new ferrari. I thought it would make you feel better :^)

guys, You know more than I do :) so I guess, that's the package waiting for me in the post office - the new d3x with 24/1.4 You send me Niko... thanks man, your the one! :)

I guess I should start a new thread to find out what some of the retail guys around here have heard.

Sucks to be you. Are Hasselblads all that fragile? It would seem like a D3 with a 14-24 would take that hit. Maybe the front element would be scratched though.

Hasselblads aren't water resistant or built like a Nikonos. They are solidly crafted but aren't meant to be thrown on concrete like that. I doubt any lens mount would survive a forceful fall like that!

Hey speaking of which have you heard that Fuji is going to stop making 160s, 160c, 800z and T64 in "ALL SIZES" and Neopan 400 in 120!!!!
Not a good thing to hear! Especially since it's Fuji, a company know for standing behind the future of film production!

According to Fuji, the 160s,c,and 800z/T64 discontinuance is simply a consolidation of product line, from single roll boxes to 5 roll pro-packs which will also involve rebranding (160s is supposed to become 160ns, etc.) while Neopan 400 is unfortunately on the way out the door. Neopan Acros is also being discontinued in the single roll packaging, and will henceforth be available only in the 5 roll pro-packs.

Sucks to be you. Are Hasselblads all that fragile? It would seem like a D3 with a 14-24 would take that hit. Maybe the front element would be scratched though.

Thanks, I try to add a bit of Humor where I can

bmxdad, I have a Hello Kitty Assault Rifle. My camera is a Mickey Mouse camera that is worth far more than any Hasselblad :^)

He should have been paying far more attention to what was going on, if you're going to use equipment with that sort of value, be responsible about how you treat it, or soon enough you won't have any cameras left. Kid deserved it. Sounds like a douche anyway given the way he says "oh my god" and the muscle shirt with those pants.

And thanks Niko :)

Depends on who is riding Big Wheel, I think Adamz might bounce better than me, For the camera maybe you should let us borrow your Kitty Camera unless you are to attached to it ;~)

BTW the above video is kind of lame, they should have used a Canon and watch it explode into a million pieces

This video shows the graphic death of a Hasselblad camera and 30mm fisheye lens :^(

Although I'm pretty sure this is staged video (fake) I still laughed thinking about all you "cool" kids out there who think shooting film is something new. Sorry Chris Lange, I couldn't help but think of your hassey, knock on wood for ya ;^)

Hey BMXdad, do you want to try doing this with Adamz's D3X and the 24mm f1.4 lens? I'm sure they could take the hit from your tricycle, I mean Big Wheel.
