I've had three different systems since 1960. There are a lot of Hasselblad users on the LUG. One of the best Medium Format sites is Robert Monaghan's: http://www.smu.edu/~rmonagha/mf/index.html And, of course, the HUG (Hasselblad Users Group) run by our own Dan Cardish: http://mail.kelvin.net/guest/RemoteListSummary/Hasselblad which also has complete archives for searching. The two books you'll want are "The Hasselblad Manual," fifth edition, by Ernst Wildi and the "Hasselblad Compendium." The Hasselblad Manual is a treasure trove of information and a dynamite basic photography book explaining everything, with lots of illustrations, including DOF! :) And it, of course, tells everything there is to know about all of the Hasselblad cameras, lenses, and accessories.
