Until the shutter is reopened by turning the rewind knob, or by the motor in the EL, there will be nothing to see, even with the mirror down. Opening the shutter and returning the mirror is done in the same action, so the mirror will be in the viewing position as soon as it is useful for it to be so. All the other Hasselblad SLR cameras (the 2000 and 200 series) do have an instant return mirror. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 21 Aug 2000 18:58:14 -0300 From: "Eduardo Aigner" To: Subject: Re: photographers Message-ID: <003701c00bba$eb37d020$060ad5c8@EduardoAigner> > Antonio Carlos Jobim wrote (in Portuguese): > "I took your picture with my trusty Rolleiflex, > Now all I have now is a complex."

Here is the inside scoop. There was a man in Camarillo, California that imported these oils and greases from Germany. He was elderly, and I had a feeling that I had better order all I needed in case something were to happen to him. Well, it did. He retired and ended the business. When he is called, he seems very crabby, and does not want to give you any info on where you might get these oils and greases. Yesterday, I had a little free time, and did a search on the internet and found the company that makes these oils and greases that all the manufactures use (including Hasselblad). They can be found at http://www.losimol.de/pages/english.htm I am sure they will sell it to you. The oil you will want to use is called "Tempra" oil. You will need no grease in your magazine repairs. As soon as I get the chance to do the manual on the bodies and lenses, you will find that you will need some grease for certain jobs and the grease is called "Techn.Lubricant Losoid 3340. One small bottle of the Tempra oil and a small tin of the Losiod 3340 grease is all you will need to last almost a lifetime unless you are going into the repair business. Again, these are the exact oils and greases that Hasselblad uses. This information if very difficult to find as nobody will hand out this info. It took me almost 2 years to get the names of the oils and greases, and then it was just by luck that I found it. It is a closely held secret. Hope this helps some of you people, -- _______________________________ Dick Werner 112 South Brighton St. Burbank, Ca., 91506 (818) 845-4667 helenadick@worldnet.att.net _______________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 03 Sep 2000 11:50:05 -0400 From: Marc James Small To: , Subject: Re: Step-up rings Message-ID: <3.0.6.32.20000903115005.00a0da10@pop.roanoke.infi.net> At 10:05 AM 9/3/2000 -0400, Paolo Pignatelli wrote: >I have been reading the archives about step-up and step-down adapters for >filters, but am still a bit confused.

The Bad News: They're considered "obsolete" by Hasselblad The Good News: They're considered "obsolete" by just about everybody, and can be picked up at BARGAIN prices. At one time Midwest Photo in Columbus was selling them New in Boxes for $10 each in sets of 4 or 5. I picked up a set just because they were SO cheap! You might check them, they had scads, and probably have a few left. Even though I don't like KEH, they probably have boxes full, too. You can often find these lightly used at Camera Shows, and sitting around "new unsold" in the "miscellaneous" bins at Hassy dealers for a song. I have picked up several by just digging around a little, and have NEVER spent more than $15 each....for "genuine" Hasselblad filters. I don't know where you live Paolo, but if you start scrounging the local camera stores, you WILL FIND them. NEVER pay more than $10-$12 each for the black & white filters (red, green, yellow). If my failing memory serves me, there's two shades of green and yellow available, strong and light.

Once applied, forget about having to lubricate that part on your camera for a long, long time, if ever (in your lifetime--we know that these fine cameras will outlast us). KRYTOX is available in very small vials for special applications. This makes it ideal for taking-in to a repair facility. Once the tech has used it, there's no going back. This is absolutely the finest lubricant for the Rollei clean-lube-adjust. The only reason for a tech not wanting to use it is because he will see repeat lubrication business "dry up". I met a great tech in Texas and happened to have a 1oz vial with me. After he reassembled my 300mm with KRYTOX he ordered from a friend at the fire department. It seems that his FD uses it as the only permissible lubricant on the high-pressure stage for their breathing apparatus regulators. That vial cost me 32.00 about five years ago but will last a good long time.

The grease or oil you mention, may be very good. The grease and oil I told you about this morning is what is used at the Hasselblad factory and at the Hasselblad repair facility in the US. If you care to use something else, you do it at your own risk. In fact, most of the manufactures in the world use the combination that I mentioned. What Joe Blow repair shop uses, is not my concern.

Set the apature dial to the maximum (smallest number) for your lens. Turn the meter on, the meter will read the correct EV.

I have purchased one and couldn't be happier with it. I would also like others to contribute their experience with it. So far, I managed to put 2 of my backs back in service and am seriously thinking of atemting an a12 to a24 conversion, jut for the heck of it. Mr Werner is currently working on a bodu repair and lens/shutter repair booklet. I think it will cover the C model bodies. I would also like to see something on EL bodies, as that is what I use. I can't wait for those to be out, it's so much fun to be able to fix your own camera. Cost effective, too!

I will be on the phones on Tuesday to find out where it is commercially available. I went on the Dupont website and noticed that they have toll-free lines to customer service for directing purchasers of their products. I'll let all know what I find out. In the meantime, try Dupont: www.dupont.com/lubricants/ They have a general industrial listing of distributors. I don't know what sizes they have available but I know that MSA sold tiny amounts in these plastic vials/tubes because a little goes a long way and only a tiny amount is used when performing surgery on the high pressure regulators.
