Hasselblad 500C/M Shutter Sound

Not just the king of medium format cameras, but the king of camera sounds.  No camera sounds like a Hasselblad.  It is the camera that can fire on the far side of a crowded room and you know exactly what it is.  It is one of the most beloved of shutter sounds among film photographers and we feel it is one of the best parts of being a Hasselblad user.  Sure, the camera feels nice in the hands.  Sure, the view through the viewfinder is magical.  But there is something about how the heart lifts a bit at hearing that kah-lump (some describe it as more of a clip-clop, while others think it is a snick-snop) of the shutter and mirror triggering.  So make sure you have the sound on for this post and see if you can resist the urge to smile a bit hearing this camera in action.
