Today I'm going to share about this group of Grandpa-level medium-format cameras. I got hold of this 500c probably before 2009, but it wasn't my first Hasselblad set. My first set should have been around 2000, when I collected the 500cm, 50/4 C black lens, 80/2.8 CF, and 180/4 CF. I remember taking it to shoot the scenery of Kinmen. This set of Hasselblad focuses on the Carl Zeiss C white lenses from the same period as the 500c, which should have some differences in coating technology compared to the later red T C black lenses and red T* CF black lenses.
The shooting location this time is the popular wedding photography holy ground in Taipei - the Taipei Water Museum. The black and white film used is ILFORD HP5 PLUS 400, scanned with an EPSON V750PRO scanner. Actually, I've never been able to handle scanning well, but at least it's better than the digital files scanned by general stores.
今天來分享一下這組阿公級的中型相機。入手這台500c應該是2009年以前的事了，不過不是我的第一組哈蘇。第一組應該是早在2000年左右，當初收集了500cm, 50/4 C 黑鏡, 80/2.8 CF 和 180/4 CF，記得曾經帶去拍攝過金門風情。這組哈蘇，專攻500c同一時期的 Carl Zeiss C 白鏡，跟後來的紅T C黑鏡和 紅T* CF黑鏡再鍍膜技術上應該是有些差異。
本次拍攝地點是台北熱門的婚紗攝影聖地-自來水博物館，黑白底片是ILFORD HP5 PLUS 400，底掃是EPSON V750PRO。其實我對底掃一直沒有辦法操作的得心應手，不過至少比一般店家掃的數位檔好一些。

"During the Japanese colonial period in the 40th year of the Meiji era (1907), the Governor-General's Office invited William K. Burton, a British consultant for the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Japan at the time, to assist in sanitary engineering in Taiwan. This included water source surveys. Following Mr. Burton's advice, a water intake was built by the Xindian River at the foot of Mount Xia Guanyin, with the aim of taking raw water. A water treatment plant was established at the foothills, treating the water before pumping it to a reservoir on the mountainside. By gravity, the treated water naturally flowed down to supply daily water to residents.
In the 41st year of the Meiji era (1908), the water intake and pumping station buildings and equipment were completed. In the 42nd year of the Meiji era (1909), the water supply pipelines, water treatment plant, and reservoir were fully completed. The water treatment plant began supplying water, with an output of 20,000 tons. The first phase aimed to supply water to 120,000 people and was named the Taipei Water Source Slow Filtration Plant. From then on, Taipei's water supply entered the era of modernization.

"日治時期明治40年(1907年)，總督府聘請當時日本內務省擔任衛生工程顧問的英國人威廉巴爾頓(William K. Burton)來臺，協助負責衛生工程包括了水源調查，依巴爾頓先生生前之建議， 在今公館小觀音山腳下新店溪畔建取水口，以引取原水；在山麓設淨水場，進行淨水處理，再將處理過之清水，以抽水機抽送至山上之配水池，藉由重力方式自然流下，供應住戶日常用水。
日治時期明治41年(1908年)取水口、唧筒室建築與設備裝置先行完成，日治時期明治42年(1909年)輸配水管、淨水場及配水池全面完工，淨水場開始供水，出水量2萬公噸，第一期計畫用水人口12萬人，並命名為臺北水源地慢濾場，從此臺北自來水開始邁入現代化之供水系統。
