Hasselblad 2000FC

-
The Hasselblad 2000FC was a medium format (6x6cm), single-lens-reflex camera manufactured from 1977 to 1981 by the Swedish firm Victor Hasselblad AB. The unique design of the 2000FC gave the photographer a choice of shutter options: the focal plane shutter fitted in the camera body, or the leaf shutter built into the lenses made for the Hasselblad 500 EL, 500C and the 500 C/M since 1957.The "2000" in the designation of the 2000FC stands for fastest shutter speed, which was 1/2000 sec; the "F" stands for focal plane shutter; and the "C" for the Compur leaf shutter. Lenses without leaf shutter could only be used with the camera's own focal plane shutter. The leaf shutter provides with the advantage of flash synchronization at all shutter speeds down to 1/500 sec.

The Hasselblad 2000FC had an electronically timed focal plane shutter with flash X synchronization at 1/90 sec and slower. Electronic shutter timing makes for extremely accurate shutter action. A choice of mirror was another feature of the Hasselblad 2000FC; the photographer could select a mode producing instant mirror return or a program in which the mirror was held up until the film was advanced after exposure. The reflex mirror raised position was used for special purpose applications.

New SoCal Urban Creek Green Sunfish

Thanks to a sweet tip from a fellow angler, I found a new urban creek to explore. It's actually more of a canal, but hold water year round and is absolutely loaded with chunky green sunfish, up to 12 inches. I lost track of how many scrappy greenies I landed in a short afternoon fishing session at this Inland Empire creek.  Since then, I've returned several times, always landing loads of these sunfish. I've also spotted a couple of turtles, many mosquito fish, and a couple small largemouth, along with the obligatory pile of litter and trash. Urban creek fishing at its finest hmm?

Spent a lot of time this last weekend at the beach, not only trying out my new M20 action camera,but also a couple of fishing products. One was the YOLO Fishing Bite Alarm, and the other a Yoshikawa 7ft collapsible pack rod. The bite alarm reminded me of the old carp bite alarms I used to use, but unfortunately it didn't work as well. The Yoshikawa rod is fantastic, definitely one I'll be using in the future! These are both courtesy of Gearbest, and you can find them here: Yoshikawa travel fishing rod:http://goo.gl/bNivhs Yolo Bite Alarm: http://goo.gl/oHLIm4 Other Gearbest fishing products:
