Don't replace the lens. If the lens jams, the repair costs will soar.

While the lens does not have a shutter, the automatic diaphragm uses the same coupling.

 

Try pressing the double exposure button in the hub of the wind crank. That may let you finish cocking the camera with the lens off. More likely, it needs basic maintenance from Hasselblad (about $400).

Hi Ed,

Thank you! I tried that but it still refuses to wind on. I will send it in for service.

Hi, I'm literally in a jam and hope this friendly forum can help!

I use a Hasselblad 203FE and today while cocking the camera with a 110/2 lens mounted, I can wind perhaps 90% then the crank won't go any further. The shutter won't fire. The mirror is back down. I can easily remove the lens whereas i know the lens can't be removed easily in some cases of jamming. The shutter release button can be depressed fully but the camera doesn't fire presumably because the camera is not fully cocked.

I would really appreciate advice from anyone who has experience with this.

Regards,

Terence
