Well
-
we have to
admit that the headline is not
altogether
true. However,
for the first time,
you
have
the opportunity to
motorize
it
yourself
by
simply
purchasing
and attaching
the
only
true
original Hasselblad Winder
CW.
The Hasselblad
503CW
(W
for winder)
continues the
Hasselblad tradition
of
well-known
and
appreciated features
that have
carried the Hasselblad name
beyond the ends
of
the
earth and into
space:
reliability
and absolute fidelity.
Although
looking
as
it
always
has,
it offers a number
of
new
features,
One
is the
GMS
(Gliding
Minor
System)
which
with
its large
mirror
provides
a full viewfinder image with
all
Hasselblad
C and CF
lenses,
The image is further
enhanced
by the new improved focusing
screen
"Acute-Matte
D" for
more
even
illumination
as
well
as easier
and
more
accurate
focusing.
Originally
featuring
the 6 x
6
cm
(2tl+
x 2rlt
_in)
format the
503CW also accepts format masks for
6 x 4.5 cm
and 6
x
3 cm
(panoramic)
formats.
A special feature
of the Hasselblad Winder
CW is the SAI
(Self
Adjusting Interface)
function which
senses the
camera's
status,
ensuring
mechanical
reliability.
Just detach the winding
crank
and
hook
the winder on for the
additional features
of
fast sequence
photography
and various
choices of remote
control.
With
your
Hasselblad
503CW
you
have
opened the
door to the
Hasselblad
System, that,
in
addition
to the
items
already men-
tioned, also features interchangeability
of
15
different lenses,
1,4x and 2x teleconverters,
magazines for
ditferent image for-
mats and films including
Polaroid films, viewfinders
with
or
without
exposure
metering
properties,
a
number
of focusing
screens and a
variety
of
accessories
to fit
your
special require-
ments,
The complete range
of accessories
affords almost
limitless
flexibility
and
potential
for
superior
photography
in any
appli-
cation.
The
realization
of this
potential
is only
dependant upon
your
skill, cafe and
judgement
as a
photographer.
Leruses
Since the early 1950's Hasselblad lenses
have
been manu-
factured
by
Carl
Zeiss in
Germany. The Hasselblad
503CW
uses C and
CF
lenses
made
by Carl
Zeiss.
With the
exception
of
F
and
FE-type
lenses, all Hasselblad
lenses manufactured
since
1957
can be used with
the 503W.
FE-type lenses
can only be used with the Hasselblad
focal
olane
shutter cameras.
This
instruction manual
describes in
detail
how to
operate
your
503W. Please read it
carefully. The knowledge
gained
from it
will
give
you
full access
to the Hasselblad
potential.
Exploiting
the
potential
is left to
your
imagination!
Congratulations
on a very
wise choice!
