Hasselblad Zeiss focus ring issue

[RonaldL]

I have a Hasselblad 500C/M with a Zeiss T* 80mm 2.5 Synchro Compur lens. The focus ring of this lens turns from 0.9m until 5m, but then stops. It doest not turn past 5m to infinity. Does anyone have an idea what may be causing this?

Many thanks

Normally i would assume that the ring with the end-stop has slipped.

How does it feel when the focus ring stops at 0.9m? Like a hard metal to metal stop or more like a softer end-of-thread stop?
Both end stops should feel "hard" if everything is ok.

However, i would give it to the repair shop.

I have a hard stop at 5m instead of at infinity.

And on 0.9m?

 

[RonaldL]

Yes, at 0.9m as well. Just not at infinity, but much earlier at 5m.

Strange.

As i said, i would take it to a technician. Then you can have it fully serviced with shutter cleaning and adjustment as well.
I once read about some guy named Wilco Jansen in NL who is specialized in Hasselblad.

Three votes for a repair shop.
