I don't think your camera has jammed. The camera will not cock when the number of exposure on the A12 back is beyond 12 exposures. At this stage you should not be able to see any number on the film back counter window.

<p>

Just remove the film insert and put it back in. Wind the crank on the film back till it reach one and fire away for another 12 exposures.

Just printed some 8 x 12 print from T400CN. It is printed from a 35mm negative (my hassel is has been sent back to Shriro of Singapore for repair again). The grain seem pretty prominant under a 10x loupe. It does however seem to have a full range of tone.

<p>

Comparing it to Tmax 100, I will thing that it is no where near. BTW, the picture was printed on Agfa Multicontrast Premium paper. Will try more test when I get my hassel back when I can load the Tmax 400 in one magazine and the other one with Tmax 400.

Well I'll think it more than just unlucky. My 503Cxi has jam for the second time. It is currently still with Shriro the dealer in Singapore. They are having problem removing the lens this time. Somethings is probably broken. Looks like is it going to cost. As far as I gather from the MFD, this problem seem to happen only to hasselblad.

<p>

It there any other medium format users out there with the same problem. I think it's time that hasselblad comes out with a solution for this problem, I am really having second thought about keep this camera.

Correct me if I wrong but I don't think the 503cx takes the new motor winder.

You need to have the 503CXi for that, as the people from hasselblad reply

the "i" is important.

However, if budget allows, I will go for the 503cw. Is has a new guilding mirror system which prevent darkening of view screen with long lens, a problem with the rest of 500 series. The price different between 503cxi and 503cw is about $200.00 (US$130) so save up.
