zachariah m. Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Hi, I have an older Hasselblad lens that's in good condition except for one problem. I installed a brand new UV filter for protection but, the fit is not as snug as it should be because the bayonet on the actual lens is a little worn. Is there anything I can do about this? I've thought about gluing it on with something removeable for future removal. I'm afraid that if I'm not careful the filter will fall off the lens under normal use.. Thank you in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russ_britt1 Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Is it a Hasselblad brand filter? If not the filter is the problem. I have never seen a loose Hassey filter on a Hassey lens.Please do not glue any thing to a Hassey lens.... well its your lens do it if you don1t care about it.

q.g._de_bakker Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Zach,<br><br>Yes, there's something extremely simple you can do about it. And it does not involve glue. But considering your lack of common decency, displayed in another thread, i will not tell you what.<br>So please, do use that superglue after all.

roger_shrader Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Try adjusting the fit of the filter by gently pressing the filter "tabs" slightly downward. Let me clarify...There should be three pieces that fit onto the bay on the lens. Push these toward the front of the filter. Be careful and adjust in small increments. This should help the filter fit more snugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger_shrader Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Oops, I hit submit, came back and saw Q.G.'s comment and then went and read the thread he mentioned. Ouch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikos peri Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 It's true though, a superglued UV filter <i>will</i> increase coverage and allow a 503 to use the popular 6x7 Hasselblad back. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tito sobrinho Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 I wholeheartedly agree with Nicola, otherwise, you will loose all your expensive Hassy filters, and instead of super glue, I would use epoxy for a stronger bond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zachariah m. Posted December 14, 2004 Author Share Posted December 14, 2004 Ps, Listen Guys, Lighten up already. My question was obviously not written perfectly, life is way too short, and we are all humans and very flawed. Good luck to everyone and take great shots for the future of our craft. Zach :-) Ps, for those who are still on this dumb issue, maybe the problem is that you need to get get laid... You will probably be disinterested and much happier.. Peace, love and Happiness!!

zachariah m. Posted December 14, 2004 Author Share Posted December 14, 2004 Rodger, Thanks for your help. Ignore the comments that were writin about me. I asked a very honest question and was bonbarded with nasty people telling me to epoxy my lens together and other stupid shit. Don't be afraid to be of help and keep the faith Baby!!! Stay real if you have any real balls... Zach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlos_vega2 Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 Zachariah, Don't waste you time with these idiots on here. I looked up both your questions on this forum and they were valid and clear to me. Some people feel the urgent need to be rude trying to make others feel small so try to understand that they have this need because deep down they feel quite inadequate. You can do the following adjustment of the filter bayonet: Turn the filter with the front surface down and put it on a table. Check the bayonet and see that there are three "tongues" acting as springs to make friction to the lens bayonet. Carefully bend the three "tongues" slightly outwards. Protect the glass with a stiff paper or similar during this procedure. Don't bend the tongues more than slightly. Check with the lens when you can feel a better fit happening. Best regards and good luck! C.V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
