Yes... but why not just shoot it on a blad body and have SLR viewing and all? I thought it was that particularly nice lens that was expensive, not the bodies/backs anymore.

A 2003 body and 110/2 is one of those classic combinations....

I can't look through an SLR and focus a camera due to eye problems and I can't look down to use a waistlevel finder because of issues with my neck/brain stem. I'm going to modify the cam and it will be a 110 f/2 coupled rangefinder. And when I shoot using the ground glass it's in front of me and not down.

There are other reasons, too, like closer macro, bigger film real estate (kinda like shooting a petzval on a too big plate, it has a look), but the biggest reason for me is I can use it like this. These were the first "real" photographs I've made in over a year!

Why not get the Hasselblad ground glass adapter and focus straight through, like using the gg on a 45?

Nice work, Jeremy. Both the camera and the images. Keep on keepin' on my friend.

I didn't know about that - though I imagine it is a lot slower/more fussy beginning to end to:

compose, focus, remove adapter, load 120 magazine back onto camera, shoot - as opposed to how quickly i can slap a grafmatic or double-sided holder in there.

This thing looks neat, too: http://cgi.ebay.com/Moveable-Adapter...ht_1706wt_1034

I have a 2000FCM, but a friend loaded a roll of 120 film in it backwards and ripped the shutter out. I have neither the money to replace or repair it right now or buy anything at all so I'm just making do with what I have.

Thanks, Kerik!
