The one I got is plastic, and with the way it "grabs" the mag I think they can't be metal – would scratch the magazine easily 😬

So ... I found out the hard way – the spools are not compatible between the regular Hasselblad 70 magazine with cassettes and the 70-100/200 that has the spools without cassettes 😅 The spools for 70-100/200 have different ends, capable of "grabbing" the short rods of the mag and spin on them...

"freezer stored" for half of the time at least 😬

To be fair, even the regular thickness film you can get about 100 exposures with working frame counter and proper spacing on a 70-100/200 back 😜 Everyone doing anything with 70mm should get that status 😅 Sounds intriguing! I ordered a 70 mag, but I have no idea yet what version is it and if...

Ouch! Bummer ... can't find any mention of those spools for 70-100/200 backs except in old catalogues and was hoping that the "usual" spools from 70mm film cassettes would work 😳 how much was that back without spools though? P.S.: have a fun trip! Can't imagine why it wouldn't work, maybe...

Would love to have a look at that sheet, was only able to find the 70-100/200 instructions. It makes sense for it to be possible to load more with thinner film though 👌 There was a tiny bit of confusion, since I was wondering if spools from A70 Magazine's cassette fit the 70-100/200 Magazine...

Indeed! So as I suspected the 70/100-200 Magazine won't accept cassettes (or as I called them before cartridges), only spools. All that's left to find out if spools are same for the 70/100-200 back and cassettes for regular 70 back. Thanks!

Interesting! So you're saying the 70-100/200 back will also take the cartridges too? It looks like the mounting points for the spools are thicker compared to the regular 70 back 🙃

I think the spools were a bit different over the years, from different manufacturers and materials ... the width of the spool should be same since the film is also same, I wonder if flange radius is also same as well as mounting points!

Thanks for the info! Those are some nice books you've got :D Attaching an image of what I was able to find up till this point from different manuals and catalogues 🤓 The regular 70 back was made for the pre-loaded / reloadable cartridges while the 100-200 version of that back could fit up to...

Hi forum members! My first post here, sorry if I mess something up 😅 My question is: does the Hasselblad 70-100/200 back use the same spools as those used inside cartridges for regular 70 backs? Does it also accept cartridges? Thanks!
