Hasselblad advance knob - advance film also?

[pete_gregar1]

I initialy bought the RB67 camera, and the biggest quirk which I

could not deal with was having to advance the film and shutter on 2

different knobs.

 

Upgrading to the RZ67 solved this problem...

 

Does the knob on the hasselblad cock the shutter and advance the film?

Or are these separate operations?

Cocks and advances all in one fell swoop as long as your back is attached - it's a modern camera after all!

I should probably say I am refering to the 500C 500CM series cameras.

pete,

For all Hasselblad cameras the answer is yes. As long as a back is attached the advance

knob recocks the shutter and mirror and advances the film in the magazine

Ellis,

 

Didn't the Original SW of 1956 require a sepearte cocking of the shutter? I might be wrong but that's how I recall it.

 

Also when using the older bellows you have to cock the shutter seperately.

 

These are very obscure cases.

As mentioned already Hasselblad 1600 F in late 40's had combined film advance and shutter cocking via knob on right side of the camera. Cranck came later in model 500C (if I remember right). The first Superwides really had separated functions, but only the first ones (till 1957?). Then on the other hand Flexbody and Arcbody have separated film advance and shutter cocking, combining would be at least difficult with that structure. Nordin's exellent book tells more.

Just as a point of information, most of the 2000 series bodies had a button you pressed

while cocking to disable film advance. This was useful for multiple exposures.
