The Proshade that I have does not have a 180 setting, and I have never seen a 180 front square "aperture" like there is for the 250 lens. How are you supposed to set the Proshade up for the 180? If you have a Proshade manual, it should state in there how this is to be done. 2) For somneone that has the Hassy instructions for the Proshade:... What limiting "aperture" plate are you supposed to use with the 80, 120 , and 150 lenses? For those new to the Proshade, there is a metal plate that goes in the front of shade that has a square open cutout. This limits the field of view of the lens, thus the Proshade can handle any lens Hassy makes with a limited length of shade. Theses plates usually say 250 MM and are used with the 250 MM lens. There is also a setting on my 6093 Proshade for a 350 CF Lens, but I have not personally seen a 350 plate ( nor so I own a 350 lens).

I like the Lindahl for it's variety and versitility. I have allot of drop in filters for softening and color change. I also use gradient filters during outside bright days. The only problem I have with the Lindahl is getting the bellow in the right position so it doesn't leave a vintage around the frame. This is especially irritating when I do shots with my 50mm or 80mm. I use the pro shade for those, because they are premarked for each lens. Now I us the proshade to get the right shading size and match my Lindahl to the same. _WBerry ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 23 Jan 1998 08:20:58 -0800 From: rdalrymple To: hasselblad@kelvin.net Subject: Which Flash?

I' think Leitz had distributed them for quite a number of years. There are some Slik tripods that are very similar and should also be good. I made one slight change. I removed the thin material on the top of the head and replaced it with a 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) piece of rubber bought from a hardware store.

The next time you load 120, count the number of turns until the 1 shows in the trapdoor window. It's probably the same.

If you do most of your shooting on a tripod, just buy USED one of the older Hassie Pro shades for the C lenses, either the folding rail or non-folding. I have the latter, which is an older model and cheaper, which works fine with my C lenses. I've seen them around in Excellent condition for about $100 US. If you do a lot of hand-held stuff or change lenses a lot, a Pro shade can be a pain. Get used METAL ones for each lens. They are more durable than the plastic ones. I have both. > I'd also like to ask the group's indulgence in suggesting a good tripod > for taking thru the woods with me when I go for a walkabout with my > Hassie.

It's the one with funny multi-axis head, that doesn't use quick release plates. It is compact, very light, and inexpensive. To make the tripod more stable, hang your camera bag with a heavy rock in it on it. -- Patrick Bartek (NoLife Polymath Group) bartek@skylink.net http://www.skylink.net/~bartek ------------------------------ End of hasselblad V1 #79 ************************ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The Hasselblad Users Group Listserv is a public service of Absolute Internet, Inc., which is not responsible for its content.
