Set the apature dial to the maximum (smallest number) for your lens. Turn the meter on, the meter will read the correct EV. Match this with the arrow across from the EV numbers on your lens. -- Arlyn DeBruyckere Hutchinson High School 1200 Roberts Road SW Hutchinson, MN 55350 http://www.hutch.k12.mn.us/ ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 30 Aug 2000 07:59:32 -0400 From: "Paolo Pignatelli" To: Subject: RE: For Sale--Chrome A-12 Back--Mint Message-ID: <000301c01279$c434a0a0$0100a8c0@paolopent> I see that many here have some relationship to the legal profession (myself included, I used to be a simultaneous interpreter for the Federal Government, SDNY).

Yup. You know the one from the viral research center in VA, where they want to replace their laboratory mice with them: Available in an abundance with less emotional attachment?

You can find the most recent edition (fifth I believe) at retail for around 50 bucks. You will find the fourth, and earlier editions, to be very inexpensive on Ebay. It is the sourcebook for how to use the system. For lenses, bodies, accessories and anything else that is a Hasselblad product, Rick Nordin's, "The Hasselblad Compendium," is the one and only book to buy! Lenses are dated there too. I am not at home right now where my copy is located or I would try to date your lens for you. One of the friendly folks here will no doubt be of service to you in that regard. Good luck! R.L.
