What is an -ish minute? Metric? US Standard? Imperial?
Very cool! I drive by Montpelier quite often, I live just 20ish minutes north of that area. Vermont is an easy place to be a photographer, aside from the lack of film community! I love the weather!
Technically you can simply reform the fingers the back rides on.
I'd say " bend" but "reform" looks better on an invoice.
Press more firmly and harder. Gradually increase the pressure until the hooks move a little at a time.
Now try that for a while before you do any more adjustment.
You have just learned that you get your money's worth for what you pay for APUG. <<wink>> <<wink>>
Will do! and point taken!
It seems as though SOME wobble is necessary, though my RZ has none come to think of it.
Also, a loose back won't cause the focus to shift because if the gap is big enough to cause the focus shift, it would be big enough to cause light leaks...
Mine would only move from side to side. It does not move when trying to pull it up...
That is what I was thinking initially... This would have to leave light leaks and my negatives are completely clean. I have to shoot it more, I think with Siruis' suggestion, I have less wobble, but still a bit. Makes me feel a bit let down by KEH but it should be operational as the description said, so maybe I will get over this focus issue.
If you are using a Hasselblad focusing screen and the focus screen height adjustment screws haven't been tampered with, you should not have focusing issues.
So, you've shot 20 rolls a week for 40 years, or 40 rolls a week for 20 years??? I am deeply impressed.

I disagree.
While VH got it mostly right, there are still some shortcomings to the Hassy system. However, its like owning a luxury car that has only one cup holder in the back seat, or leather seats, but a less-than-premium sound system. They Hassy, and the luxury car, are fun to own and easy to drive, but there are still a few things that could be improved.
There were three major issues with the Hassy system for me - the price of the name and gear, the very hard to see focusing screen, and the awkward and tight focusing.
But thats the beauty of this hobby, there's a photographer for ever tool, and a tool for every photographer.
No, I actually shot way more than 20 rolls a week for more than 40 years. Some of us were successful commercial photographers for a really long time. I bought my first 500 C in 1973. Still have every Blad I bought since 1985. With routine service they pretty much go forever! L
I found nothing awkward about focusing, and tight means it's actually machined, not slop with a lot of grease.

Took the blad out today and burned a roll of Ektar. I have mixed feelings about some of the results, as I know there will be motion blur in some of them. I'm still getting used to the handling of a smaller WLF camera, I find my big hands fumbling at the decisive moment, kind of jerking the camera sideways because I'm not familiar with the amount of pressure needed. I'll get there, with every shot I get closer. I did some tripod landscape shots at the end of the day so we will see how those look. Can't wait.
Place the camera in the left hand with the index finger on the shutter trigger. The right hand is used for focusing and holding the camera. Gently increase the pressure on the shutter trigger until it fires. Much like squeezing the trigger of a gun, but without the load noise.

Just like with my Bronica S2a, but WITH the loud noise.
