The Interchangeable Film Magazine; Magazine Models; The Rollfilm Magazine - Hasselblad 500 C User Manual

When not actually shooting, let the camera hang on its carrying strap, lens downwards. The strap is held in position on clipping the
fitting at the end of the strap over the strap button at each side of the camera body (inset).

THE INTERCHANGEABLE FILM MAGAZINE

One of the most important features of the Hasselblad camera is the interchangeable film magazine. This is the film holder which is
loaded and unloaded independently of the rest of the camera. The use of film magazines permits film changing at any time.
Each magazine has a easing of stainless steel. The ends of the case are aluminium, polished and chrome plated to resist wear and
scratching. The spool holder is aluminium alloy. The pressure plate is precision turned and has a black anodized surface.

Magazine Models

THE STANDARD MAGAZINE is in two versions - the A12 and the 12. Both take 120 roll film, giving 12 pictures 2¼ x 2¼ in., with
automatic stop after 12 exposures. The A12 also has automatic stop at the first frame and can be loaded faster.
THE 16 MAGAZINE takes 16 pictures 1 5/8 x 2¼ in., still on size 120 roll film, but with the picture area masked down. This offers a
certain film economy, especially when using colour film. The film counter on the magazine counts exposures up to No. 16. A ground
glass screen mask is also supplied with the magazine, with markings to show the limits of the 1 5/8 x 1 5/8 in. super-slide size. This
gives a guide to arranging a picture for subsequent trimming down to a miniature slide format for mounting in 2 x 2 in. slide holders.
THE 16S MAGAZINE is similar to the 16 magazine, but the film aperture is masked down to 1 5/8 x 1 5/8 in. A ground glass screen
mask is supplied with it. This magazine directly yields transparencies of the correct size for mounting in 2 x 2 in. slide frames.
All these magazines may be used with the '220' film, see page 23.
THE MAGAZINE 70 is designed to take up to 15 ft. of cassette-loaded 70-mm. film for up to seventy 2¼ x 2¼ in. negatives. The
magazine is of similar design to the others with film plane markings, film signal, counter and film type indicator. It is intended for the
professional, press and also amateur photographer who has to take large numbers of photographs at one sitting.
70-mm. film is supplied in 100 and 300 ft. rolls from which cassettes can be loaded with any length up to 16 ft. Ready loaded
cassettes ale also available.
