Haselblad 60mm f/3.5 slow gear

[Mainecoonmaniac]

I have a Haselblad 60mm f/3.5 with a slow gear. I took it apart removing all the front elements. I cannot find the shutter mechanism. Do I access the shutter through the front of the lens? Please take a look at the picture to see what I have done. All I want to do is to clean the escarpment with lighter fluid. I had to reassemble the lens. thanks for any information.

All I know is that the Hasselblad repairman who I trust my equipment to recently told me that there is one screw in the back of Hasselblad lenses which if removed will require that the lens be completely disassembled before it lens can be put back together. Do you really want to go there?

C and CF lenses require both front and rear element removed (ie: all the glass) before you can access the shutter. To properly service the shutter, it should be removed - which means the whole lens is disassembled (except the helical sync).

F and FE lenses only need the rear elements removed.

Thanks. I appreciate the warning. I think I'll live with the slow 1/2 and 1 sec shutter and not take it apart again. It's a nice lens.

Seriously,, I can't remember the last time I took a picture at 1/2 or 1 second, and I bet darn near everyone here can't either.

Go take pix.

I'm over obsessive. I can't remember either. But I can always use the bulb setting and time it myself. It really not a big deal. Thanks for the sage advice.

Sorry,not here1sec + is a typical shutter speed for me outside of the studio but I still would not attempt this self- repair.Give it to some one whoknows what they are doing.I don't but bread at the butcher either.
