Hasselblad 205FCC and Winder F (44069)

[ymc226]

I just read the instruction manual but it does not state if there is anything special I should do when the magazine back is exchanged.

Does the winder automatically wind to the next frame and reset the shutter after each activation so when the roll is finished, all that is required is to change the back?

 

[Q.G.]

The shutter stays were it is when you remove the back from a 200-series camera.
(So neither you nor the winder needs to do something special when you put it (or another one) back on again.)
The curtains are made of rubberized cloth, and though you should not test your luck by poking it, it can take some 'abuse'.

The winder does indeed wind on automatically after each exposure. It does not know about the frame count, so after the last one on the roll, it winds on as usual, i.e. does not wind on until the trailer is all wrapped around the roll.
So you have to do that manually before removing the roll from the magazine.

Thank you Q.G., the camera did have the shutter reset. Very easy to bracket shots. I should have gotten the F winder much sooner.

yes, it's confusing, what is going on is the shutter is synced to the back, so when 12/24 is hit it locks out, stopping the winder (as if the manual crank was on), BUT, you Must use the small winder on the magasine to roll up the backing paper to keep the film safe; one important tip, the winder winds just like the eld models, so BEFORE starting a multi-exposure, you MUST take it off, so you can access & use the button to de-clutch the winding drive for independent shutter cocking {same on the 2000 for re-setting the shutter from the "retracted" safe position}- engage multi, re-cock, add winder and go. a Bonus tip here, some 2000 models have a slider beside the mag lock on the body, setting this 'retract', or NOT mode, if using winder, have the retract set to "off" to save flailing about, esp. if you need to move fast.
