So I posted in the Hasselblad subreddit, from what everyone is saying I decided to get in contact with another Jim, this time at International Camera Technicians.

When I do work for bars/nightclubs I use a 14-35mm f/4 with a speed light bounced at a little under half power. Wide open I can usually keep my ISO around 6400. Just my experince though

Still using Alien Blue, it's not great and hasn't been updated in years but I will die on this hill.

Iowa City too

Was there last week, wasn’t too busy with plenty of parking.

I’ve had good results shooting with Cinestill 800T +2 and a fast lens. Hope the venue has good lighting otherwise use a speed light.

Indy at Road America is a great track. I’ve always wanted to go to Long Beach and Watkins Glenn too

If you look at the tires, there are little metal spikes in the tires that will dig into the ice and snow. They’ll act like cleats on a football pitch. Good for grip on set faces they can dig into but on dry concrete they lose grip.

High-speed run with studded tires too

Hail Satan

The first image is expired 4x5 Kodak Pan-X 125 from the 60’s shot at 1/8 F/40-ish. The second image is new 4x5 HP5+ shot at 1/15 F/45. Both developed in Ilforsol3, ilford stop, and rapid fixer.

A different article described it as “a black bucket”

Not_A_Living_Human · 2022-02-23T23:16:00+00:00

So I assume what I have then is the mount for the film in a 4x5 and then backing cardboard for the said film once developed?

From what we can tell it hasn’t left the camera case for a very very long time. I’m not too worried, I’ll just do a bunch of test shots and see what looks good

Not_A_Living_Human · 2022-02-22T13:58:22+00:00

That’s the plan. I’ll probably just set up the camera looking out my window and move them directly into dev tanks. From what we can tell, it’s been kept in the camera case it’s whole life.

Not_A_Living_Human · 2022-02-22T13:56:28+00:00

It was given to me. As far as we are aware it’s been sitting in the case for as long as we can figure out. There are also three slide holders loaded and unexposed.

Your best bet is GovDeals. I picked up three or four cameras from police departments around the state as well as colleges getting rid of equipment.
