<p>Horace, when I was in school we had lens shades for the Hassy that were like that and I have one at home, but, I don't recall seeing the gradated railing on this one, and I can't recall what the purpose was. But generally we used these for lens shades. Kent?</p>

<p>Horace, since Kent hasn't chimed back in yet I can confirm what Barry said is true. What is on the front of Kent's 500cm is a Hasselblad proshade. It is either the 6093 model or the 6093T model. It is an adjustable lens shade that can be used with most of the Hasselblad lenses. It has numbers to indicate where you set the lens shade relative to the lens you're using. Keeps people from having to buy individual lens shades and you can also use gel filters in it, etc.</p>

All Hasselblad compendium shades came with such scales. The earliest one (1969) had them engraved and filled in with paint, the one following that (1982) has two silk screened scales glued on, the last ones (1991) have the scales printed directly on the part itself.<br>As Ken mentioned, you need such scales to know the maximum length you can extend the thing to without vignetting when used on a particular lens.

To make up for the off-topic talk about shades, a bad picture of one of my MF cameras, 'stored' where it's getting in the way of things badly (haven't stubbed a toe yet, though). Not a pretty portrait like the others, more taken so it shows it is indeed an MF camera.<br><br><img src="http://home.tiscali.nl/qnu/PN/MF612.jpg" ><br><br>P.S.<br>I have one of those tripods, Kent. Haven't tried how it works with this camera yet.
