Lenses
500 series cameras are compatible with
lenses that have an integral leaf shutter,
namely, all C series lenses. F series lenses are
compatible only with cameras from the 200
series.
CFi / CFE lenses are the latest developments
and are mentioned and illustrated here as
the conventional choice.
C, CF and CB lenses, although differing in
specification and appearance to CFi / CFE
lenses, are operated in a very similar man
-
ner but please see the relevant instruction
manuals for complete details.

Shutter speed and aperture
The shutter speed selector ring is the ring lo-

speed, turn the ring until the desired marked
shutter speed position aligns with the central
lens index.
e white scale shows the shutter speeds, and
the orange scale the exposure values (EV).
The orange ‘F’ setting is used only when the
lens is attached to a Hasselblad camera in the
200 or 2000 series with a focal plane shutter.
e operation of the diaphragm is not affected.
e ‘F’ setting can only be engaged/disengaged
when the orange lever is pressed.
If the F setting is used, exposure errors will
occur since the shutter remains open.
e aperture setting ring is the second closest
ring to the front of the lens. e aperture value
is also set against the central lens index. The
diaphragm is automatic and stops down to the
