In the mid 1970s, or so, I “rescued” a small number of old newspapers; alas they started disintegrating so I dare not try to make more copies of interesting adverts or articles: this is from the Sheerness Times Guardian 4th January 1957
I'm in between projects for eBay so it was either sort my hundred pounds of unsorted legos into my bulk or grab one of my sets outa storage and put it together. I chose the latter... The Twilight is a pretty good build, I love all the technic aspects and its uniqueness. Also like the role it plays in the Clone Wars series. There's something very calming about putting together a set strait from the instructions. Soothes my weary mind.

so, my EL/M body manufacturing date is 1982.
Lens dating: for C and C T* lenses: there should be a 3-digit or 4-digit number in red lettering in the lens mount .This is the manufacturing date code. The last two digits are the month. The first one or two digits are the year. Add this to 1957.
In mine lens the number is 1102 = February 1968

There are too many accessories for the EL cameras.
EL/M is a modified version of the EL, "M" means modified, "EL" electric.
Hasselblad EL is a system camera this means that almost everything is interchangeable: lens, prism/finder, and film back.
This body is in V-system 500 series, uses only leaf-shutter lenses. There are various Carl Zeiss made C, CB, CFi/CFE series as Distagon, Planar, Biogon, Sonnar type lenses, with various focal lenghts, with Compur shutter for 500 series.
Hasselblad was the company that first developed the professional medium format modular SLR.
Perhaps the most famous use of the Hasselblad camera was during the Apollo program missions when man first landed on the Moon. Almost all of the still photographs taken during these missions used modified Hasselblad cameras.
Hasselblad's traditional V-System cameras remain widely used by professional and serious amateur photographers. One reason is a reputation for long service life and quality of available lenses.
A brief info for Hasselblad EL Series
In 1964 Hasselblad started production of a motorized camera, the 500 EL. Apart from the housing that incorporates the motor drive and the NiCd-batteries this camera is similar in appearance and operation to the Hasselblad 500 C and uses the same magazines, lenses and viewfinders. The EL models:
500 EL 1964–70
500 EL/M 1971–84, introduced user-interchangeable screen,
500 ELX 1984–88, introduced TTL-flash sensor and larger non-vignetting mirror,
553 ELX introduced new internal light-absorbing coating and use of AA-batteries,
555 ELD 1998–2006, introduced new mirror mechanics and electronic contacts for communication with digital backs.

Just as the sun was setting, we set up for one last shot on the north side of Rogers, Ar, right alongside US 62. From here into Springdale, the roads make it awfully difficult to chase, do we decided to let the ALCOs run off into the proverbial (and literal) sunset. This was my first time getting to chase the A&M, and I was sure thrilled to get a chance to do it while the ALCOs had come back.

I just bought an 80mm ED refractor from Orion Telescopes, 600mm F/7.5 with my Canon EOS Rebel T5i camera, and we had LOTS of rain the past 2-3 weeks :(
**EXPLORED**
That's right, folks. I'm back. Did you miss me while I was sans internet on my camping trip? I feel a little out of sorts right now. I'm going to need to spend some time catching up on your streams. It feels good to be back home with my face paint, though. :) Thought I'd finish August off with one of these shots since I had stick to pretty simple on the camping trip.
I am still so freaking exhausted today. I slept for about eleven hours and I still feel like I'm dragging myself around in a daze. Oh, and to everybody who asked I'm feeling MUCH better as far as my stomach issues from last week and also the mouth/lymph node agony. Thank god. That was some serious pain and misery. I'm glad it started clearing up and improving on the first day of the trip or I would have had a horrible time.
I still have more pictures from the trip to upload, but I figure I'll try to do that slowly, here and there, rather than just bombarding you all. :)

Design by M Moser Associates
When workspace designer M Moser redesigned its Hong Kong office, it was determined to visibly demonstrate the benefits of migrating to a more technologically sophisticated, collaborative and Sustainable style of working. The doubling of existing meeting spaces and integration of shared areas such as team hubs, plus ‘heads down’ rooms for more private working and meetings ensured enhanced knowledge sharing. Collaboration was further improved by the seamless integration of new technologies. Incorporating optimised natural daylight, plus energy-efficient individually-lit, island style personal workstations and extensively recycling existing fittings and furnishings, the new office shortly expects to receive LEED certification.
