Main difference is the angle of view. nordin's book mentions that the 100 was one of the later lenses to get the T* treatment; he speculates it might not have needed it as badly as some of the others. personally, i recently retired my 80mm for the 100mm (CF) and my first impressions are that the 100CF does seem to handle the flare better. the 100CF construction has a very deep-set front element (like a micro-nikkor 55) and when using the 100-180 hood, it's very well protected from stray light. the 100/3.5 has always had the reputation (some created by hasselblad itself) for being a higher-quality "normal" than the 80. i haven't spent long enough to really make that judgement. but i do like the lens. -rei ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 13 Jun 2001 11:14:29 -0700 From: Patrick Bartek To: hasselblad@kelvin.net Subject: Re: Darkroom question Message-ID: <01061311403700.09461@localhost.localdomain> On Tue, 12 Jun 2001, Michael Buchstaller wrote: > recently i have taken some rolls of film (Tmax 400) with portraits for a colleague > of me.

On fiber paper, I find a soft lead pencil works fine. On RC paper, I use a standard ball-point pen. In both case, I write very lightly on the back of the print in a corner. Special pens are made for this, but I've found the above works just a well. > Or how do others mark the shots ? I do not want to wade though 20-30 finished prints and > search on 18 rolls of film to find the exactly matching negative number.... I write an index number that corresponds to negative of that particular print. Here's my index/filing system: Each roll has a unique number based on the date the roll was shot and how many rolls were shot that day. I just use the manufacturer's pre-exposed negative numbers to identify a particular negative. EXAMPLE Say I shot four rolls on the 13th of June 2001. I would code this in the format year-month-day.roll. So, the first roll's file number would be 010613.1. A print from negative number 8 on that roll would be coded on the back of the print as 010613.1.8. I store the negs in poly negative holders along with its contact print. All pertinent information about the shoot (client, lighting, equipment etc.) is written on the holder. I also double cross-reference everything by subject (for stock photo purposes) and client (So I can easily find a shoot for reorders.). This system has worked well for me for almost 25 years. -- Patrick Bartek NoLife Polymath Group bartek@intermind.net ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 14 Jun 2001 11:34:45 -0700 From: Mark Rabiner To: shino@ubspainewebber.com Cc: "Hasselblad Users Group (HUG)" Subject: Re: Trade 80 mm for 100 mm?

The considerations of an SLR modular cube camera make for another 15mm? Does not sound un logical.

The rollers are nice and clean, but one rolls freely while the other seems tight. I can rotate the tight roller with my fingers. I suspect the second roller will be a bit tight because of the two heavy spring clips holding it. I don't have any Polaroid film at the moment, so I can't test it. Are the rollers working as they should? Is there a technique for removing the spring clips and both rollers?

They snap out, new one snaps in. You can also snap out the whole assembly and clean it under warm water and mild detergent. Finish with alcohol.
