Recommendations on 40mm lens for Hasselblad?

[Ai Print]

Nice, sounds like you are really docked out as far asHassy lenses go. In a similar attempt, I'd lie to go CF across the board, Does anybody know if there is any optical performance difference between the 80mm Planar C and CF versions?

I suspect the flare resistance might be improved due to newer coatings.

I love the CF line, it’s what I used in my early 20’s when I was in the beginning stages of my career. I have no qualms with my three remaining CF lenses, 40FLE, 50FLE and spare 80 so I may just keep them.

Otherwise I have the 60CFi, 80CFe, 100CFi, 120CFi, 180CFi, 350CFe/SA, 1.4XE and Apo 1.4.

Instead of replacing the remaining CF lenses, what I actually might do next year is simply ad an SWC.

Another fan of the 40CFE here. I think it makes a great compliment to the 80CFE.

I'll stick with my SWC.

Can there überhaubt be anything better than a SWC?

Two SWCs!

This is pure indulgence!

And a way to shoot SWC stereo photographs!

You actually don't need two cameras.
At the time stereo photography was popular, there existed a kind of double mount, to be used on a tripod, where on you could put on camera on the left side, take the shot, and then mount the same camera on the right side and take a second shot.
That mount was made in such a way that the camera was positioned each time in the right way so the two negatives could be used as a stereo view.
I think that with some imagination, and trial and error, a panorama ring can be used in that way...

Good to know. I will have to look for one and then decide if I want one.

It seems to me that a sliding drawer rail could be the most simple hack for a stereo rig.

That or a precision "T" fixture for Machinist, with a set of T-blocks to bracket either side of the camera mounting block taped and threaded by an appropriate screw section for mounting the camera.

Epoxy a block of strong hardwood to your bottom, outside T-section, and drill a center hole through the wood only that will accept the correct threaded brass insert, if you can not find a metal block to tap and thread for mounting onto your tripod.

The rest is pretty much self-evident.

Rollei made a sliding bar for their TLR.

no;you've got to keep'em from the hoarders!

I never bothered to study on stereo slides or negatives, so, will someone edify us, please, with the specifications necessary to right up and make successful exposures and prints?
