The reason for 4x4 is for supersides that can be shown on a 35mm slide projector, but it one has a Hasselblad and shoots slides, then a 6x6 aka 2 1/4" 2 1/4" slide project would be preferable.
Which begs the question, why not just use the 6x6 format? There are slide machines that handle that size. Exactly why would someone want to waste film, especially after all the threads and posts complaining about the price of film and processing?
When one has a Hasselblad, if the photographs are not great, then one merely walks into the bathroom, looks in the mirror and sees the source of the problem. One can only blame themselves.
I too stick to CF lenses or later models. My only exceptions were the 30mm C Fisheye and the 500mm C because they were offered at a price that I could not pass up, and without purchasing those, I probably would not have those focal lengths.
I heard about it and several other rare format such as the vertical 645 for Hasselblad and the 35mm for Hasselblad, but I have never seen any of the rare ones available. I would not bother to use any of them. They are rare for good reasons.
Any particular filter may not be manufactured to the standard filter factors. The filter manufacturer should label each filter correctly. I have only very rarely found a filter that deviated from the filter factors that we find in [older?] books or on the internet.
My understanding is that all Zone VI Studio meters were modified meters from other meter companies. The reason most calibration companies will not touch them is that they are not set up with sources set to his spectral set ups.
