Hasselblad and Lindahl Professional Vignetter

I am interested in the possibilities of using the Lindahl product

with my 503cw and 80mm / 150mm lenses. Does anyone have any

experience with this combination, looking for pros and cons

concerning durability and interface. Also, is there any other

product that I should look at that would provide the function of a

lens shade and allow for the mounting of filters and

vignettes?

 

thank you in advance.

I have used the Lindahl with my 500CM and 80 & 150 mm CT* lenses for about a year now, and really like it.

I'm a wedding photographer and use the Lindahl Bell-O-Shade on my Hassy 500CM and ELM with 80/150 lenses. I also use it on my 60mm, but I have scrunch the bellows real tight to avoid vignetting.

It's a rugged and handy system- I use Hasselblad Soft Filters that I cut and mounted in Lindahl filter holders, providing me with a speedy way to diffuse an image. I also use Soft edge vignetters to create soft-edge effects in my pix.

It's a great system.

I have used the Lindahl Pro vignetter for many years, but on a Mamiya

RB 67. I wouldn't think it would make a difference as to the camera it was used on. Lindahl makes a very good, reliable product. I wouldn't want to do a wedding without it. I have no reservations about

recommending it. I use it on a 180mm lens on the RB 67 which stays

tripod mounted, while using another camera for hand held shots. I

personally would like a "quick attach" for it to speed up attaching/

detaching. Does anyone know if this is available?
