How to operate a Hasselblad 50/4 CF FLE?

Hello!

 

I just aquired a Distagon 50/4 CF FLE for Hasselblad and I just want to be clear on how to operate the FLE ring correctly. I know that I should set the FLE ring first and then focus as usual. Should I think like this, when I want the focus to be from 0,5m-0,8m/ 0,8m-1,2m/ 1,2m-4m, 4m-infinity I set the ring between those markings? Is it that easy? Or is it more to it?

It is that easy. Guestimate the distance and set the fle ring appropriately (i.e. to the corresponding mark, not in between), then focus using the focusing ring. Check whether your guestimate was good, and if not readjust and refocus.

Forgetting to set the fle ring is not a big deal. You just do not get the utmost out of the lens (which you also do not using the camera handheld).

Thank you sir!
