Fig. 50
ACCESSORIES
The HassclbJacI 2000FC is part of the
extensive Hassclblad system. It has been
designed so that most of the accessories
for the Hassclblad 500C/M also fit the
Hassclblad 2000FC.
For technical reasons, there arc a few
exceptions, however. The Magarjne SO for
Polaroid film (Fig. 50) must not be used
on the Hassclblad 2000FC. Though it is
physically possible to attach this magazine
to the camera, the magazine's projecting
glass plate would then impinge upon and
ik'sirny the shutter curtains. The maga¬
zine 100 for Polaroid film has a recessed
glass plate and can therefore be used with
the Hassclblad 2000FC.
The 10 mm and 21 mm extension tubes
will only fit the Hassclblad 5000.^1.500C.
500EL/M and 500CL. The projcciing
shutter speed ring on the 2000FC prevents
attachment of these lubes to the 2000FC
camera's ba>onct mount. However, the
55 mm extension tube will fit the 2000FC.
Two extension tube.s have been especially
designed for the Hasselblad 2M0FC. They
are 16 and 32 mm long respectively (Fig.
51),
A number of new accessories for the
2000FC will be introduced to take advan¬
tage of the camera's electronics. These
accessories will be designed for connec*
tion (o the camera via the camera's bat¬
tery compartment.
Lens accessories
The design of lenses made for the Hasscl¬
blad 2000FC differs from the design of
other lenses in the Hassclblad s^’stem,
The Hassclblad meter prism finder is an
excellent aid in determining correct expo¬
sure. The bright, unreversed viewfinder
image is enlarged 3x .The finder's built-
in CdS meter measures the light passing
through the lens and falling on the focus¬
ing screen. Measurement results are dis¬
played on an exposure value scale at the
base of the viewfinder field. The displayed
value is then traiisferred to the lens.
The meter is ccnler-welghtcd so that 50^
of its sensitivity is located in a circle 1 in
in diameter at the middle of the focusing
screen. Remaining metor sensitivity i$
evenly distributed over the surrounding
field. The meter can be set for film speeds
from 25 to 1600 ASA.
The Hassclblad meter prism finder fits
the Hasselblad 500C. 500C/M. 5U0EU
500EL/M as well ax the Hasselblad
2000FC.
The Hassclblad system also features an
exposure meter with a selenium cell. This
meter works without batteries and can be
used for close-up mcasuremeent of the
light faJlmg onto or reflected from your
subject. The meter can also double as a
film advance/shutter cocking knob on the
Hassclblad 500C and 500C/M. With the
aid of a special attachment, the exposure
meter can also be mounted on the lens
shade.
$0 a special program of accessories, in¬
cluding niters, lens shades etc.. wiU be
supplied for these lenses.
However, rnost of the accessories which
fit the 80rnm Flanar f/2.8 for the 2000FC
will also fit the 80mm Planar with a
beuveen-lhe-Jcns shutter
Nofc: You can not use a quick-focusing
handle on C lenses in focal lengths of
SOmni or less in combiaacion the
Hasselblad 2000FC. This Is because of the
limited space available beltxeen the cam¬
era's sliuuer speed ring and (he distance
scale on C lenses.
