The Hasselblad 2003FCW was a medium format single-lens-reflex film camera introduced in 1988 by the Swedish firm Victor Hasselblad. The 2003FCW featured lens, magazine, viewfinder, and foccusing screen interchangeability. It was equipped with the high resulution Acute-Matte focusing screen, which had been highly improved against internal reflections through the use of the new Palpas anti-reflection coating. All the Carl Zeiss lenses could be used with the 2003FCW.

Specifications

The Hasselblad 2003FCW was fitted with a vertical-run focal plane shutter with speeds ranging from 1 to 1/2000 sec plus B and C. Flash synchronization was up to 1/90 sec. But the 2003FCW could also use the lens built-in leaf shutter, whose maximum speed was 1/500 sec. This Swedish camera had three choices of mirror action: instant return mirror; rewind return mirror; and mirror locked up, which was in the raised position. The selectors of these three modes was accessible upon removal of the crank or winder. Warning: the hasselblad magazine 80 for Polaroid film must never be used with the 2003FCW, for the magazine projecting glass plate could destroy the focal plane shutter.

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:
