Hi Chris, Hey, i'm asking for independent confirmation and you pop-up again! ;-) (But don't think i doubt your word!) Can you tell us whether or not there is a difference in optical design between the CB and CF/CFi versions of this lens? Why would it be only half the price the CFi version would cost? Since when does it feature in the catalogue? Are there perhaps more items in the Hong Kong Hasselblad catalogue that are unknown to us in other parts of the world, that you know of? ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 24 Nov 2000 07:51:47 -0500 From: "Paolo Pignatelli" To: Subject: 500C Trade or sell Message-ID: <000201c05615$4f5dc060$0100a8c0@paolopent> I have a 500 C that has just (in May) had installed a Acute Matte D focusing screen (42204) installed by John Kovaks in New Hampshire, at which time he also checked it out).

If this > isn't so, someone please explain me how. I had a lot of jams when using a particular auto-bellows and a 500 C/M. Both functioned perfectly well when combined with other pieces of equipment (other accessories, auto-bellows even, on the body, and other bodies on the bellows), but whenever i put these two together, it was a guaranteed jam-fest! I took them both to Hasselblad, and they did not find anything wrong with either of them. Individually that is! When combined it was quite apparent that things were out of order. Perhaps a matter of mismatched tolerances? Sadly even after a good cleaning and readjustment, the problem persisted. Probably still a matter of mismatched tolerances! I didn't bother to take them back in again, since both work perfectly OK, as long as i don't put them together. I have had some (not a lot) jams on other occasions too. Most when taking off lenses or tubes from a body. Contrary to what you say, lenses (or tubes and converters) do not have to be uncocked to cause a jam: they sometimes will fire 'spontaneously' while they are being mounted or dismounted. I can understand how i caused these jams myself... More annoying to me are those jams occuring for no apparent reason at all. And i had two or three of these occurances too: the camera freezing up after the release button was pressed. Most annoying jam i had was the first one i experienced. There was nothing in the instruction manual about how to unjam the camera. :-( Most annoying jam-related experience i had was a long time ago while attending a Hasselblad presentation cum camera check-up when the Hasselblad technician took exception to me showing fellow Hasselblad owners how to unjam their bodies... 8( ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 24 Oct 2000 09:26:45 -0700 From: "Peter Klosky" To: Subject: Re: Is leaving the leaf shutter on CF Message-ID: > I had a lot of jams .. > Most annoying jam-related experience I had was a long time ago while attending a Hasselblad presentation cum camera check-up when the Hasselblad= technician took exception to me showing fellow Hasselblad owners how to unjam their bodies...=20 I blame Paolo for driving me to make this comment: Denial isn't just a river in Egypt.

Only three CBs > there! In the copy sent out by Hasselblad GB the lens is listed but not illustrated. Also there is a note about the lens only being available in certain markets. Is your catalogue in a language other than English? If so I would imagine that what could happen is that Hasselblad keep the overall design the same all countries. When they print the brochure, they change the Black ink plate for each language. This means that the images stay the same and only the text changes the same. As there is no picture of the 120mm Planar and the lens is not available in the area covered by that language, then as far as that language area goes the lens does not exist. This is my guess as to why you have no info on the lens. -- Ian Goodrick goodrick@appleonline.net ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 24 Oct 2000 17:11:25 -0400 From: "LEO WOLK" To: , Subject: Re: Is leaving the leaf shutter on CF Message-ID: <01c03dfe$f7de4360$753d570c@fofyplfq> Well that STREAM of ideas certainly turned the TIDE!

DICK WERNER] Message-ID: <39F66536.5290821F@worldnet.att.net> Without the body and magazine in my hands, it is a bit difficult to say how to get the magazine off. I know what the problem is, but you will have to do a work around. There is a little leaf spring that is just under the face plate of the magazine that the dark slide hits and allows the button on the top of the magazine to move. If you do not mind putting a little tweak in your dark slide, you may be able to remove the magazine with no problem. Tweak the upper right hand corner(as it goes into the magazine housing) to the rear. Anotherwords, put a bend in the dark slide that will go towards the rear of the magazine at the upper right hand corner. It does not have to be a big bend, but enough to hit the leaf spring and release the magazine. Try a little bend at first, then if that does not work, bend it a little more. It should hit the spring and let you release the magazine. Before doing any of this, remove the lens from the body. Also, remove the insert from the magazine. Yell if I can be of further help, Thanks, -- _______________________________ Dick Werner 112 South Brighton St. Burbank, Ca., 91506 (818) 845-4667 helenadick@worldnet.att.net _______________________________ Marcober wrote: > > Dick; > I saved these notes, just in case. > I find myself with a brand new 503CW and a seemingly new magazine which > I purchased from another member of the group. > The problem is that no matter what I do, I cannot remove the magazine > from the body.
