Thanks for the comments. I've heard...Hi Bill,<br /><br />Thanks for the comments. I've heard that name changing occurs when you think something that you are doing isn't working. Often I think name changing messes up the branding and confuses people.<br /><br />Also I didn't know that there were still acetate films either. I'll have to research that more.<br /><br />Regarding Hasselblad, when I was looking to move to medium format, I couldn't see what all the fuss was about.A couple of people in my photography classes swore that you had to have a Hassie. But I saw beautiful results from the Mamiya 645, so when I had the opportunity to get one I did. Other classmates of mine also had Bronica, and again I couldn't see the difference. I think the real difference in Optics today between the top brands isn't significant (if there is any difference).<br /><br />Back from some travel, so I'll be posting more regularly again............MyVintageCamerashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02305373259154226492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7168838311233857690.post-12072721916549801432013-07-20T09:03:30.391-06:002013-07-20T09:03:30.391-06:00Nice photo. I wish I could visit that location. ...Nice photo. I wish I could visit that location. It looks very inviting.<br />I wonder why companies feel the need to change their name and then do it. Zeiss is not alone, just the most recent.<br /><br />I can understand Hassies cessation of the V line. They are way over priced. I shot various models of Hasselblads, but I never owned one. Myself and several other photographers with whom I worked in the 80s and 90s shot both Hassies and Bronica SQ-A's the company owned both. 90% of the time we grabbed the Bronicas. No one ever noticed any difference in image quality between the 2 brands whether it was small photos or wall-sized photos for trade shows.<br /><br />Personally I still own and still shoot Bronicas. Sometimes I wondered if I could even afford Bronica cameras, lenses and accessories.<br /><br />Acetate film? I thought polyester replaced acetate decades ago even though many of us still called the base acetate.<br /><br />Thanks for the updates on the happenings in the world of photography.Bill Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14649212489891769390noreply@blogger.com
