Film Camera Week for May 15

One tip about Hasselblad is that accidentally tripping the shutter while changing lenses can lock the camera. I did this several times and had to send it in for repairs. I finally learned a home remedy that sometimes works. The way to avoid the problem is to have a film back on the camera with a dark slide in place since the dark slide in place because the dark slide blocks the shutter making changing the lens safe.

I took me a minute to realize this abut my 500cm. things get sticky fast if you don't do everything correctly when changing lenses- AND when adding or removing extension tubes to for that matter. The shutter MUST be cocked. So far, I've not had to send my camera out to get it fixed but I have had some issues. Hopefully Ive learned by now, tho.
