As the header explains, I'm in need of the specific repair manual pages for Hasselblad 500mm T* and clear photographs of lens back area, disassembled, so I can seek out any missing pieces from my recent acquisition of this lens, which is in otherwise great condition and needs use soon.

I've a wanted post elsewhere asking for any donated lenses or other Hasselblad kit that is out of action so I can try my hand at repairing them or using parts for repairs ony own kit and do so again.

I think there are 3 500mm lenses, but this one is on the 'learn camera repair' site. Not sure about the Tele-Tessar and Mirrotar.

Yes, this helps but I need to see the lens mount area from the back perspective, as it is the large, empty end tube, onto which the mounting plate caps that I need some images of.

One part of this is the length and shaping of the Mount's Cocking Arm that rides inside the smaller, internal tube of that larger tube.

The second part is any mechanism that signals to the shutter that the camera has fired.

Lastly, the correct order of reconstruction of those parts and the mounting plate into a stable, strong condition.

The lens is the Tela Tessar 500mm T* and, as I said, the rest of the lens, from below the shutter housing and including the glass is perfect.

Is there perhaps any optical element below/back of the shutter assemble?

I'm just no sure without more pics and drawings.

PS: Where in the repair manual on camera repair did you find this page, please?

Thank you for the link but I've download added these and there is no C, C T* or CF* lens data, especially for the 500mm Telle Tessar lens.

Any other sites would be welcomed.

Cheers and Godspeed to everyone of you.

Eli,
FYI, right now there's a 500mm Tele-Tessar on the big auction site for $350+ S/H.
It is advertised as functional, but has broken glass.

Thank you for the tip of.

For now, Im no able to put that much into a parts lens, with broken glass, though that may change, in the near future.

It may be that I have everything needed to finish the back end of the lens, however, without knowing the layout behind the shutter, mine is excellent, it seems, I can no proceed.

I need the visual references to continue.

I have a possible donor, a C, possible CT* 150, from Japan, to salvage some parts from, but the lens seems to be in really good shape, just needing the slow shutter cleaned and I'm loathe to part it out (I like the mechinical apature indicator that later lenses no longer have and it would be handy to have a 150mm that I would no mind as much, if stolen or damaged, during street and wet landscape work,breather than my CF version.

I'll continue to look for the photos and manual for C & CF lenses, as well as more affordable abandoned & broken donor lenses, for parts, etc.

There's Hasselblad-specific data (C lenses) contained in the aforementioned Compur Shutter Repair Manual, but for some reason, these are listed as "BH Reflex".
