Hasselblad film magazines provide the opportuni-
ty to vory format,length ond type of film used.They
con be quickly and easily switched mid-film with-
out the loss of a single frame.
Operation of the magazines is not difficult but poy
particular attention to the section on loading.Go
through the procedure one step at a time and prac-
tice a little until you feel confident. Note especially
which way round the spool of film is placed and
the positioning of the bocking p0per under the
clomp bor.
The film is outomatically advanced frame-by-
frame in the magazine by the comero winding
mechanism and consequently only when attached
to the comero body.Therefore when separated,the
mogazine and camera body could become un-
matched.This can be determined by checking the
mogazine status indicator or by the winding crank
stotus.
Try to odopt a routine that suits you regarding
winding and removal as well as checking on the
stotus of each item.This will ensure that the cam-
era/lens/mogazine combinotion stltus is always
fully operative.
The magazine can be loaded on, or offthe camera.If it is
to be loaded offthe camera, then the m agazineslide must
be inserted first.
In either case, when inserting the slide ensure that its flat
side is towards the rear (see detail in illustration) as this
facilitates the removal of the film holder.
