dan_unkefer Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Hi All, I recently acquired an original Hasselblad Blimp for the EL/M. It included a seperate canvas lens cover, which -precisely- fits my 350mm C Tele-Tessar. The "camera cover" is padded light green canvas, and precisely fits the EL/M with a 70mm back (which I still frequently use) and NC-2 Prism finder. There is a leather "patch" with the Hasselblad logo, which has a cross-cut hole for your finger to reach the release button. It pretty effectively muzzles the EL/M. Is there anything I'm overlooking, it seems to be one of the more rare accesoories for this model. Don't have it in any of my catalogs, or literature on this thing. Thanks, -Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdleffler Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Hi my name is David and I am a new member, I have one as well. The part number is 58106. I acquired it from David Holmes when he passed away. David a cinematographer and professional photographer as well as a dear friend. He used it in Antarctica while filming a rig for the company that manufactured a huge oil prospecting machine. It kept his EL warm and quiet. in the Hasselblad System Compendium it states "This is a cover for the EL series camera designed to provide weather protection and soundproofing for a camera installed in an out door site. The particular application it was designed for is wildlife photography. Made of green waterproof cotton canvas". It looks like new and as don't have any use for it (not being a wildlife photographer), I'll will be posting it on eBay in the next few days. Funny how it has been sitting on a shelf for so long and just now when I read this I recalled I had one of these rare and interesting Hasselblad EL accessories. I'll upload a picture for anyone that hasn't seen one. David leffler@earthlink.net<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
