It's a 501CM, w/ a 80mm CFE, w/ a A12 6x6 back. I've been enjoying the system... and loving it. So excited. There are couple questions about it: 1. This maybe a really stupid question... but on the warranty card, what should I fill in on the 'sold by:' section? 2. I understand that this camera is not equipped w/ TTL flash metering... the question is: what kind flash system should I get for this camera? Should I get dedicated TTL, or non dedicated non TTL? Other than hasselblad brand, is there third party flash for hasselblad? 3. I have Manfrotto 3021 and a ballhead w/ quick release plate. Is this combination sturdy enough for the kit? Thanks for your time answering my questions.

Waldo Berry ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 09 May 2001 11:16:18 EDT From: JCurcio@aol.com To: Subject: Re: new Message-ID: On the flash question, a number of people have gotten a Sunpak Flash. If you're interested I can check the model number (it may be the 544, but I'm at the office at the moment and am not certain of the numerical model designation). You can't use TTL metering on the 501 series, so don't bother paying for it unless you're going to upgrade your camera body. Although TTL would be nice, for my purposes, the automatic functions of the Sunpak are adequate. My budget caused me to focus more on extension tubes, a prism hood, an additional back, and lenses. Of course, if your budget is higher than mine, my choices are irrelevant. E-Mail me off-list if you want me to check the exact model designation of the Sunpak. It's the non-TTL handle mount. It's a solid performer. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 9 May 2001 11:42:44 -0400 (EDT) From: Andrew Moore To: Hasselblad MaiList Subject: Macro Message-ID: Hassy's literature says the 135 Makro-Planar can go to 1:1 on the auto bellows. Sure this lens must be optimized for macro work, but isn't it also true that any Hassy lens with a focal length under 135mm will also go to 1:1 on the bellows? If so I'm surprised there isn't any mention of it in Hassy's descriptions of the bellows. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 9 May 2001 18:01:27 +0200 From: Warnecke Gerald To: "'hasselblad@kelvin.net'" Subject: AW: Macro Message-ID: <49CBE99F005FD411B8430000D1DD52E9259481@blns206e.bln.icn.siemens.de> Of course it is possible to go to 1:1 (and further) with any focal = length shorter than 135 mm in conjuction with the auto bellows. But the 135 mm lens is designed especially for close-up work (as does the 120 mm = Makro-Planar). Because the 135 mm Makro-Planar doesn't have any own focusing facility, = its use is restricted only to the auto bellows (or to e. g. the flex body = in combination with extension tubes). Therefore the auto bellows has scales for the = magnification ratio and the exposure correction value. And its length is designed to = just reach 1:1 with the 135 mm Makro-Planar.

I think the T2 has better coverage than my Sunpak 544. The bracket that comes with the 544 is not that great for a Hasselblad. They make an optional accessory bracket that is supposed to fit the Hasselblad better, but I have the Jones Bracket, which is great, and a Stroboframe bracket.

I made a pdf acrobat document out of it. Printed it in color and hung it up in my dark= room and here by my computer. So if anyone is interested in my guides to darkr= oom happiness just click the above. "I commonly mix up Patterson 11x14 trays which comfortably hold 3 liters = of liquid and are 15 inches on the narrow side. I typically make 11x14 fiber prints. If I am making 8x10 RC contact sheets I use the same trays in the= same layout but omit the chemicals from the Toner and Clear; trays 7 and 8. Th= ose two trays then become water trays. So after the second Fix I have 5 water tra= ys! It is barely necessary to have the water running in your wash for this type = of arrangement! I=92ll have it running at a trickle. These ten trays with a = squeegee glass take up 14 feet out of my 18 ft. sink, a luxurious arrangement that= many will not be able to swing in their space unless they go with smaller tray= s. A common work around and what I do when I print 16x20's or 20x24=92s is to = do two runs....come back for a =93Laundry=94 run. Your first run is you go thro= ugh your first or second fix. Then you either let your prints soak overnight or l= ay them out on your plastic dryer screens. Then next morning you do the second ha= lf of your run: trays 6-10 I think it=92s s ok to let your fiber prints soak 8 = hours. Others don=92t. The paper=92s s I use which are Ilford Multigrade papers = respond fine to this treatment. The sizing or whiteners of others papers might le= ach out too much so squeegee and dry them. RC prints should not be wet much longe= r than 15 minutes. Sometimes I=92ll hang them up with cloths pins instead of tak= ing the trouble to squeegee and lay them out on drier screens. These Patterson trays I use come in colors; red white and beige. This exp= lains the colored type I used on this chart which as it hangs on my darkroom wa= ll provides a visual aid to me. The black type is for the white trays. For different sized trays you=92d have to do the math as to how much chemistr= y I use per liter to convert to the amount of liters you have in your trays. Please email for corrections or ideas.

And that literature did not mention the demise of this lens. Has it been brought back? The variable tube is also long gone another Hassy macro option not exactly in the present.
