The price posted in B&H may be too expensive. This lens has a very brief description in the Chinese version of Hasselblad Product Catalogue 1999/2000. I think Hasselblad and Shriro in Hong Kong are not promoting it heavily. Hope this clarify some of you guys queries. -- Please remove NOSPAM in my email address before replying!

Only three CBs there! I cannot imagine that Hassy USA gave me a different catalogue than they gave you. There's a paragraph on the bottom the pages cited above.

Research has shown that it is almost always happens only when your camera has been handed to a friend or acquaintance that is unfamiliar with the camera and you happen to look away for a short period of time. Further testing has documented that the period of time necessary to initiate the dreaded "JAM" ranges anywhere from 1/500th of a second to 1.5 minutes. Time to reverse this condition varies.

[...] It seems unlikely that they will be made as freely available as the other CB lenses just yet. There have been some items occasionally in the past that were country specific but at present it appears to be just this lens you mention and a Polaroid back in the US. I am not aware of any restrictions about any other items from the Hasselblad program." End quote. He's not saying much, is he? ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 25 Oct 2000 22:45:46 +0200 From: "Q.G. de Bakker" To: Subject: Re: CB 120 mm lens?

Maybe that's because my catalogue was not issued to me by Hasselblad USA?! ;-) But thanks for the info! ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 25 Oct 2000 14:34:07 -0700 (PDT) From: "Chris J.

Put the 50 on, set the lens, made the exposure and didn't hear that familiar buzzing sound at 1 second. Took the back off, tripped the shutter and there she is hanging open.

Message-ID: <84.c734ea0.2728f03b@aol.com> Another question from the 'I can't believe they designed it this way' category: I'm using my 503CX which I bought used with one of the old style peep-hole backs and I've taken 4 or 5 shots when I accidently bump the wind lever on the back and RESET the back to frame 1! I can't remember whether I was on frame 4 or 5. Anything I can do now except wish I had taken notes? Jeez, no wonder they redesigned this thing!
