- This video walks you through the how to load/unload medium format (120) film into a Hasselblad 500 film camera. The model I use in the video is a "500C"; however, these steps broadly apply to the other Hasselblad 500 variants as well (i.e. CM, etc.)

One thing I noticed you did but did not mention was when you put the film back onto the body you pushed the button over before putting it all the way into place. That helps reduce wear on the tabs and the back.
I should've watched this before I loaded my film on my own, because I got the first 6 frames empty when I developed my film lol 😅 I almost freaked out pulling that roll from the canister, oh well. Thanks for the helpful video!
I see this video just for curiosity, and i view is a PERFECT explanation of how to put and remove the 120 roll, i have exactly this camera and enjoy to much taking pictures with this piece of technology, just to think a little bit on this the camera does not have a single battery and works perfectly and you also get incredible images
A clear and simple demonstration. Thank you.
Great video
I loooooooooooooove this camera 😍
The best!
With these old manual film backs, there is no need to align the black arrow that is on the paper backing. On the automatic film backs, you will have to align the black arrow with the marks on the film back insert. One more point, you can load the film back while still attached to the camera if you don’t feel like messing around with the dark slide.
Exactly! If (like me) you only have 1 back for a 500 C/M, it's better to just remove the internals with the back still on. You aren't gaining anything from taking the back off completely; it only puts more wear on the camera.
This is very clear! Thank you!
I’m also wondering what clips you have to connect the peak design anchors?
Also curious about the peak design integration
Hi! Yes, I have a peak design tripod mount on the bottom that has worked pretty well. Just make sure if you put one on to tighten it down very well (the Hasselblad is so heavy that if it is loose it can come undone easy if things get off balance...shouldn't be an issue if you just make sure it is really tight). The little plastic beads on the side are also for a peak design sling ("Peak Design Slide Camera Strap")...to be honest, I haven't used the sling much. Normally when I shoot with the Hasselblad I either have it mounted to the tripod that I am carrying around or just have it in a small sling back for quick access with a basic wrist strap on it. The little metal things I attached to the lugs for the peak design beads I just got on Amazon and they work well (just search "Hasselblad Strap Lugs").
Did he just waste a whole perfectly good roll of film??
The film was already damaged from not being stored properly so it was the perfect candidate for an instructional video!
