Spot on about the changing bag, you don't need a darkroom to develop B/W at all.

 

What am I getting out of shooting film? I get to use a Hasselblad 500C/M the way it's intended to be used. In its full 6x6 glory with no digital back! It's a lovely photographic tool that is much more enjoyable than any digital camera I've ever used. Also, I have a darkroom and an enlarger that I can use at home so I can make beautiful prints without spending tons of money on a decent sized printer like an Epson 3880. Even some of the 35mm cameras that I've been using give me a lot of those benefits but I've hardly shot any 35mm in the past year.

 

Also, if you know your EV values, you don't even need the urine

 

   Are you using a prism finder with the Hassy?  That was one of the  reasons I didn't get on with my Rollieflex, looking down into a viewer, with the left right inversion, it just felt unnatural to me, that and the square format and it's box style construction, I found it a clumsy to hold, it was for that I prefered the 6X7 Pentax and it's huge look. The Hassies certainly fall into the Swiss watch build quality catagory, with their superb lenses!

 

 Am I missing something....what's with the urine?

   Well I rummaged in my out of date draw.... all I could find was a roll of Agfapan 25 B+W dated 01/2004..120, actually very nice fine grain film, pity it wasn't 35mm....Oh that and a packet of old condoms....but that's another story.....I digress! :wub:
