Filters
Standard screw-threaded
M49 mm
filters should be
used. The
use of two
or
more filters
together may pro-
duce
problems
with vignetting and lens
shade attach-
mentexceptwith
dedicated Hasselblad
M 49 mm filters
described below.
As the XPan has
a TTL exposure
sys-
tem, filter
factors
-
the amount of
exposure
increase
necessary
for
each
filter-
can
in
general be ignored
as
they are
automatically taken into
account. Tests
or al-
ternative exposures
should be made in
special
cases,
however,
to ensure
the
required
result.
Three
dedicated Hasselbad filters
are
available. A UV/
Sky for
general
purposes
and two centre filters
(with
respectively
3Omm and 45mm/90mm
fitting) for
crit-
ical applications
using
transparency film. Each filter

lease
