<p>Hi<br>

I have a Hasselblad 202fa with a 60x120mm lens. I am finding it difficult to find filter at a reasonable price and was wondering if I could use some other filter, and in particular a polarising filter. The lens ha a 93mm drop in filter but am not sure if I can use a polarising filter as a drop in and would prefer to use a filter at the end of the lens. The screw measuremet for the lens cap to which I would prefer to attah any fiter at the end of the lens I am not sure of.<br>

Any suggestions would be gratefully appeciated, or if you have any to sell e-mail me at <a href="mailto:iangrahm62@tiscali.co.uk">iangrahm62@tiscali.co.uk</a><br>

I live in the uk</p>

<p>I use glasses for reading so should I be using them when I use my waist level finder to focus particularly at close up and will they affect the outcome of the photo or should I try and do without . it is very difficult to get diopters for my hasselblad in the uk, but if using glasses has the same effect then I am not particlarly concerned</p>

<p>I have a Maiya RZ67 with 250 mm lens and a Hasselblad 202fa with a 60-110mm lens. Where could I find diopter for these cameras and how much would I expect to pay. I live in the uk.</p>

<p>I wear glasses for reading, but my distance vision is quiet good. I find it easier to focus witout my glasses on even at close up shots. Do I need a special diopter. I use a ae focus eye level finder</p>

<p>I bought a hassy 202fa with 220 back and fe 4.8/60-120 lens. I only use 120 film as 220 is almost impossible to get and can I expect to experience any problems. Also is it possible to use the camera hand held at reasonably fast shutter speeds. Any comment on using this set up would be helpful.<br>

Many thanks<br>

Ian</p>

<p>The filter has the lettering HASSELBLAD / 93 1x CR 1.5 -0 MULTICOATED.<br>

Does this mean anything.</p>

<p>The lens is a Hasselblad FE 4.8/60-120mm, the filter is a drop in filter. Do I need to make f stop correction with the above filter. Or would a proper skylight filter which needs no correction be better? Really I am looking for a skylight filter in order to protect the lens without needing f correction.<br />Thanks<br />Ian</p>

<p>Hi Bill<br>

Could I please see a picture of the negative or any b/w negative. It might answer a few questions I have. I have managed to copy a color negative to my computer but as the colours are reversed I do not think I would be able to print it and wonder if it is the same with b/w. ie are the tones reversed.</p>

<p>I do not have a darkroom and want to develop my own b/w 120 filns medium format, but have no way of printing them. Is there a computer printer capable of recording and printing b/w negatives.?</p>

<p>Hi<br>

I live in the uk and send my filrs to club35.co.uk freepost. You can download an order form on line and so far no problems about getting negatives or prints back but retun postage per film is .95p so if you send 4 films that is £3.80, but the service is still relatively cheap. If anyone knows of a better or cheaper postal service in the uk I would like to hear from you.</p>

<p>Hi<br>

I have my films processed by a professional processor and have always ordered prints but I have the option of having a disc instead of prints. I use a hasselblad 6x6 usually with 100 iso colour negative and the options I have are standard resolution cd1536x1024, or super resolution 3072x2048 Which costs another £2.5 over standard. Is it worth paying the exra for as I rarely enlarge prins at the moment and will I get significantly less resolution on standard disc as opposed to prints. Also are there any drawbacks having discs instead of prints, considering I will have the negatives if I do want a particular enlargement. I consider that with a disc I could do my own enlargements on my home printer which is an epsom rx520, but be limited to a4.<br>

Any suggestions gratefully received.</p>

<p>Hi Scott<br>

I took the easy way out and sold the body and film back to to a guy who has a museum, but kept the lens and bought a replacement on e-bay which works fine. I think the original body and back were faulty when I first bought them and should have returned it but as I possibly caused some of the damage this was not possible and it was uneconomical to repair ; so bye bye to it.<br>

Ian</p>

<p>Thanks to all<br>

<p>Hi Tom<br>

Which version of photoshop do you use.<br>

Ian</p>

<p>Great. Must get photoshop.</p>

<p>Also I have an A12 magazine and wondered if I could use this as well as the E24 magazine that came with the camera. Ie will it fit<br>

Thanks<br>

Ian</p>

<p>I have hasselblad 202fa camera and wonder if I can use (though in manual mode) my carl zeiss f80mm T* planar 1:2,8 lens instead of the 60/120 fe zoom lens that came with the camera.<br>

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated<br>

Thanks<br>

Ian</p>

<p>I can not seem to find these filters on e-bay and not sure what I am looking for as have never heard of drop in filters before. Is it possible you could send me a link or where else I might get them.<br>

Thanks<br>

Ian</p>

<p>Does anyone know if this lens takes filters and if so what type and size.<br>

Many thanks<br>

In addition to my instructions above after firing the shutter and it still does not rewind on, I have found that you can rewind to the next frame using the winding knob on the film insert winding crank and this works well if it happens again if it does not rewind after using the body crank to set the shutter.<br>

I experienced the same problem, but I found that if I turned the camera gear knob and then fired the shutter with the lens cover on, it seemed to resolve the problem. Try it.<br>

Ian</p>

<p>Try my solution mentioned above It might work<br>
