‘Peripheral’ is a Love Story Shot Through a Hasselblad Viewfinder

November 12, 2018 By Eric Reagan

This award-winning short film (embedded above) is a lovely three-minute story for photography geeks featuring an iconic camera.

It was shot using a Sony a7s with the Voigtlander 21mm f/4 Color Skopar through the viewfinder of a Hasselblad 500c/m. It is “[a] short story about how constantly looking to make that next great photograph can cause you to loose [sic] touch with whats around you.”

I think most photographers, at some point, can relate to the some of the looks the photographer in the film receives from his love interest.

Unfortunately, Corrina Van Hamlin, the film’s female lead passed away in July following a sudden stroke. She was an active part of the Lansing, MI arts community and “left a legacy of love.”

Hasselblad’s HV DSLR Kit Finally Reaches “Normal” Price

June 22, 2015 By Eric Reagan

Hasselblad-HV_front_w

Hasselblad has a history of making incredible cameras and lenses; however, some of its recent digital models have simply been knockoffs of Sony’s Cyber-shot and Alpha products – and ridiculously overpriced knockoffs at that.

One such camera is the Hasselblad HV, which is sold as a kit with a 24-70mm f/2.8 lens for a whopping $12,000 retail price tag.

Well, it’s no longer overpriced thanks to a recent $8,000 price cut, bringing the camera kit down to $3,999. This includes the Hasselblad HV body, Zeiss 24-70mm f/2.8 T* lens and a custom hard case with foam interior cutout.

The Sony A99 on which the Hasselblad HV is based runs $2,000 on its own and so does the Zeiss 24-70mm f/2.8 lens, which puts the camera and lens at $4,000 – and Hasselblad throws in the custom hardshell case.

While the Sony A99 is long in tooth, it’s still a solid full frame camera and, who knows, maybe the Hasselblad clone will become a collector’s item some day…

June 4, 2015 By Eric Reagan
