However, having the option to have other lenses of stellar quality is only a plus. You may choose to do it or not, but you have the choice.
QuoteSome time ago I had bought a 503CX from the Hasselblad representative Ulf Kuhn in Germany, knowing that if there would be a problem I could always get back to him for repairs.
My first 3 fotoshootings with the 503 and the CFVII 50c were done at areas where I used the camera only with infinit distance focus and the images were stunning.
However when I recently checked the correct focus at shorter distances (a few m up to 10m) I saw a clear back focus.
So my 503 is now in Ahrensburg with Mr. Kuhn who will make the necessary adjustments on the 503CX.
Eager to see what consequences it will have for analog shootings (which I rarely will do with the 503CX as I also have a SWC.
Quote from: flash on May 25, 2024, 09:22:31 AMI've been using magnetic filters for a couple of years. It's the first thing I do with a new lens. Store the multi-million-dollar cap and put on a magnetic ring and cap.
So far, I've had zero issues with any lens of any brand pulling off filters or caps. They do vary a bit. SO another cap might not be quite as *grippy*. You can also use a fingernail to pry the cap off rather than grip and pull. That puts a bit less force on the lens.
I can definitely try to fingernail / "pivot" filter off instead of directly pulling on it. But at any rate, if I do pull on it, is this kind of action harmful to the lens?
