GEEEEZ! Do you work for Hasselblad? You'd think someone insulted your kid or
something!

I don't think the original poster was trashing Hasselblad, he was pointing
out the problems shooting handheld out of a Helicopter. He was "using" a
Hasselblad, so he must think it has value.
Out of those "tens of thousands" of negatives how many were hand held out of
a helicopter?
