If you don't have a light meter though, the sunny f16 rule is a good rule to follow.

You can always use your FM2's light meter as a reference point.- it is a good meter But the 500 c/m is indeed a fully manual camera. You either have to meter externally with a light meter or iPhone/Android light meter app. The 500 c/m does not have a built in light meter. i cant seem to get a reading for shutter?

This might sound like a silly question but i was wondering the same thing, on my nikon fm2 i can set the shutter and iso, on a hasselblad? im a bit lost, i have a light meter but on the 'sun setting' i input my iso 125 and it gives my f-stop. Just consider 6 (or how many is it) editions of a dedicated guide into Hasselblad photography. I mean, i normally consider myself a proper bloke cause i wouldn't read instruction manual even for a Space Shifter Turbo 2000 Time Machine Special All-in-one Edition.īut for the Hasselblad, i never hesitated for a second. Well i reckon i can be seen as one arrogant c*ck saying meaningless thigs like "read that and do this", but actually i meant it. But to be honest, it's easier to tear off a flap from the film box and stick it in the holder! Depending on the age of the back, there's a ring inside the flap on the back of the shell which rotates - it's got ISO ratings stamped in tiny numbers which show though a window. It's not any kind of auto-ISO setting, but you can use the indicator on the back of the film back to indicate the rating of the film. You guys rock!Īnd prestigeobsession: welcome to the fun world of Hasselblad - ka-chunk! This thread proves it.Ĭompletely new users are treated with equal respect, no matter what their questions. You know - this group has always been the most helpful and nice I've ever run across. Hasselblad instruction manual is worth reading throughout. They both lack built-in light meters though. Off to experiment.Įxcept that it's an SLR, with accurate focusing, has more than 2 settings for aperture, adjustable shutter speeds, interchangeable lenses and finders, slightly better build quality and a marginally higher price. That being said, if there is a PME prism on it, then you just dial in the ISO and max aperture there. I knew perfectly well that the exposures were in my head, but for a fleeting moment I still tweaked out on it. If you have a finder with a light meter (which you did not mention) then you'd set the film ASA/ISO there.Īh yes, I remember the first time I used my 500. It's up to you to determine the proper exposure then set the shutter speed and aperture (both on the lens) before you press the 500 CM shutter. If you're using it with the waist level finder it has no meter, so no need to know the ISO.

You use a light meter which you adjust according to film speed and set the speed of shutter and aperture accordingly. If not, (and warning noob question) how does the camera know the ISO of the film that it is exposing? That being said, I was wondering if it is at all possible to rate the ISO on this camera. I've looked online for the manual, read it as well as read many of the posts in this forum and performed a google search and looked at a few web pages. I'm the owner of a new-to-me Hasselblad 500CM courtesy of E-Bay.
