1,2 or 3 notches on Hasselblad magazines?

<p>Hi, <br>

Can anybody tell if the filmmagazine had only 2 notches?<br>

Or had the 16 magazine only one?<br>

Had the 70 filmmagazine any notches at all?</p>

<p>Any magazine with 3 notches?<br>

Sorry for bad english.<br>

Best regards</p>

<p>dear nick please what do you mean by " notches " , I am using 8 different film magazines from hassel. if I know that you mean I might be of a little help to you, pls</p>

<p>Hasselblad "V" magazines have two notches in one side of the film gate by tradition. I suppose someone could file another notch for identification purposes. I did that with cut film holders.</p>

<p>look at this picture.</p>

<blockquote>

<p>If you remove the dark slide from a magazine and look at the plate that mates with the rear plate on the body, you will see two small "v" shaped notches on the left-hand side, in the middle. These two small notches are cut into every Hasselblad film magazine, and appear on every negative taken with a Hasselblad camera.</p>

<p>2 notches, plus as many as a previous owner thought fit to add.</p>

 

<p>It's not unusual for pros to add notches, using a unique pattern/number for each magazine. This makes it easy to identify a faulty one in the event of a malfunction such as uneven image spacing.</p>
