Hasselblad - non standardised filter threads

<p>Do all the boxy type Hasselblads use the bayonet filters? Do the other Hasselblads use the standard millimetre system? Ie the H5D, and the older film camera versions and the XPAN and the X1D ..... </p>

<p>You can buy adapters for Bayonet mounts for screw in filters but they need to be larger than the Bayonet to work properly.</p>

 

<p>I know that my oldish SWC has a standard filter size but non standard thread pitch-beware of ebay lens hoods that just bind up too quickly.</p>

<p>For "boxy type Hasselblads," the filter size was determined by the lens you attached. once upon a time many Hassy lenses used Bay 50 or Bay 60 filters which often required adapter rings. The Hasselblad Telephoto 150mm f/4 CF Zeiss Sonnar T* Lens for 500 Series Cameras used Bay 50 filters.<br>

The Xpan 35mm system (actually a rebranded Fuji TX) used 49mm or 58mm filters, depending on the lens.</p>

<p>Ok thanks. So the Xpan and the autofocus models use standard screw in filters. There are adaptors yes but it prevents the OEM lens hood being used. Considering if I should be getting a few filters on the B60 size. </p>

<p>The CF40 uses a 93 mm screw in filter, which is as large as a bread plate.</p>

<p>I have three or four bayonet type lens hoods which stay in the closet. They take up too much room in my bag, and can't be stored in the inverted position. I do carry a Hasselblad compendium (bellows) filter which can be used with any lens. I have B50, B60 and CF40 adapters for that hood. Since I use the Hasselblad only for groups, portraits and landscapes, the only filter I own is a B60 B+W Kaesemann polarizer. Bayonet mount filters are flush with the OD, and do not interfere with use of a hood or other attachments. I wish more cameras used them.</p>

Yes but i use a b60 to 77mm

adaptor the hood may not fit.

77mm are what I have with my dslr

<p>What filters are so important to your work that you can forego using an hood? If those filters are so important, is it not worth getting them with a bayonet mount?</p>
