Hello, Does anyone know if the ShutterBoss II cable release is compatible with the F100? I can see that there is a 10-pin version of the ShutterBoss II that is available, but I cannot find anywhere online where it clearly states that it will work with the F100. Thanks!

@coronawithlime: Thanks I'll take a look at eBay to find the part. But based on the magazine locking on to the back with the prism finder removed, I am thinking the issue may not be with the hooks on the body after all... @pavel: The same issue is happening with two different A12 backs. I am surprised that two backs purchased at two different times may have the same issue. Or are these issues fairly common given the age of most of these backs?

Quick Update: I have a prism finder on the camera. When I remove the prism finder and lock the magazine, it locks securely and does not release with just pressure without moving the release knob. However, the magazine knob still unlocks the magazine without the dark slide being inserted. Now I am confused as to what the issue is. Since the magazine locks on to the camera without the prism finder, does that mean the locking hooks on the camera body are OK and somehow the prism finder isn't letting the magazine lock in all the way? It still won't explain why the magazine unlock button releases the magazine without the dark slide being present, on both of my magazines. Has anyone else encountered these issues? I am clearly a newbie to the hasselblad and at a loss as to what to do.

Thanks. Is there an easy/economical way to fix or replace the hooks?

Hi all, I purchased my first Hasselblad, a 500 EL/M, recently along with two separate A12 backs. I think the film backs are not mating properly with the camera for the following reasons: 1) Once the back is loaded and locked to the camera, I am able to remove the backs with just a little bit of pressure without moving the knob on top. 2) With the back locked to the camera and the dark slide removed, I am still able to move the knob that removes the back from the camera. I believe this should not be possible with the dark slide removed. I have seen a significant amount of light leak in my photos. Initially I thought I need to replace the light trap in the backs, but the light leaks are on the left side, bottom and the right side of the photos. This tells me the issue it not likely due to the light trap. Any suggestions on how I can go about fixing it? Since it is happening with two separate backs, could it be a problem with the camera mechanism that locks to the backs? Thanks!
