Because one's been found on Leck Fell. Go on to UKCaving to get more details.

Yes, I lost my Hasselblad H4D-200MS there.

Do the other two prefer Lesley Judd ?

Is that a Hasselblad digital compact? 😉

I'm not sure the word "compact" is even allowable in the same sentence as Hassleblad, unless you are laughing a lot when You say it... :lol: 😉

The life expectancy of a Hasselblad down anything on Leck could be measured in minutes :lol: :lol:

In the 70's Ian Davison used a Hasselblad (borrowed from his employer - Rolls Royce!) for most of the pictures I saw him take - including the now lost Luneheads Mine, Smeltmill beck Cave, Dow Prov and Juniper Gulf. His 1970's Juniper Gulf picture with the ladder fully visible from top to bottom of a 200 foot shaft is probably one of the most iconic images in British caving in my humble opinion.

I love them... but I couldn't afford to take one underground.

Should I snag a Bronica SQ again, or a Pentax/Fuji 645, then I probably would. If I do end up buying one, I'd better get the trip in quickly, the missus would kill me.

If you really wanted to use rollfilm again, then I guess a TLR could make sense. Pretty compact and cheap as chips in Yashica-Mat form. Finding a wide enough lens for underground use would be more of a challenge though.

I've had odd idea about taking an old Ensign down, but common sense stops me, as it will die a quick death, being a "tinplate" camera.

You mean the folding type of Ensign? Like a cheapo Zeiss Iconta? As long as you folded it away to carry around, it should survive. :thumbsup:

I do have one very robust roll film camera - a "Rapid Omega". It's a hefty rangefinder camera a little like a Mamiya Press. Tough as old boots and can be operated while wearing gloves, but it weighs a ton so not one to carry any distance!

Nope, a cheap old Ful-Vue. Mine is one of the later ones. I love it though. Great shots on XP-2 once I got the hang of it (At the time I was used to an EOS 1 35mm)

I could not get into XP2, got some nice images off a roll once but I wasnt impressed at all. Just gonna stick with traditional black and white!
