Hi guys,

I am curious about your experience with Hasselblad support and/or repair service and whether there is a difference between Europe and the States.

Thanks for your participation!

Quote from: AlwaysRichard on September 10, 2023, 01:12:35 PMI think I figured it out, the leaf shutter on the XCD 35-75mm lens is defective.

I now have had the exact same problem with my XCD 35-75mm lens. Tack sharp when used with electronic shutter. Jittery/unsharp images when using leaf shutter. It'll go to Hasselblad for service next week. I'd be interested in any repair experience you've had with the lens. Thanks.

Hi Joe, how did it go? Is it solved?

I sent the lens to Hasselblad for examination and repair. They concluded that the lens was within specs and sent it back to me. I subsequently sold the lens.

I've tested the zoom today with the X1DII, and dispite what I wrote in my previous post, the images are also blurry. It's less obvious (due to the lower resolution) but clearly visible when zoomed in. When using the electronic shutter images are sharp and micro contrast is more defined.
It has to be the leaf shutter.
I'll get the zoom to my local dealer later this week and have her deal with Hasselblad customer support. I hope I have more luck than Joe. So far my experience with HB Europe (Sweden directly) has been quite good. That is without taking the three month it took them to repair the lens hood of my 135mm, into account.
How hard can it be to send a couple of missing screws?

I wonder myself... haven't had issues with my 45P on either the X1D II or X2D.

I didn't observe any stability issue with my XCD45P when mounted on my X1D II.

The description they provide is rather vague, what are "stability issues"?

Good bank! Thanks for sharing.

Quote from: NickT on April 28, 2024, 03:44:45 PMHow about an iPhone to 4X5 adaptor.. I'm tempted:

I have something like that, somewhere in my mess of curious junk, that adapts an iPhone to Hasselblad V system SLR bodies. It's fun but mostly useless because it is so awkward to use. I similarly have a wacky adapter that fits InstaxSQ onto Leica M bodies ... it's a bit more usable, but not as usable as the NONS InstaxSQ Hasselblad V system back.

All fun stuff ... Finding a way to use these things and produce interesting photos is the challenge.
