I am new to the Hasselblad camera and I wanted to get some help. I was most impressed with the patience and knowledge that the instructor brought to my individual coaching session The online remote worked perfectly and the live video was also useful. This service has made me a much better photographer with the Hasselblad and I am thrilled at the results. This is a great service and I am going to use it periodically to keep my knowledge current.
