2000FC

The

Hasselblad

2000FC

is

a

2

1/4X21/4

single-Jens

reflex

camera

f&anmng

lens,

magazine,

viewfinder

and

focusing

screen

inierchangeabiliiy.

Its

unique

design

gives

you

a

choice,

oj

shuncr

options,

focal

plane

or

leaf,

depending

oti

your

requirements.

The

‘2000'

in

the

designation

2000FC

stands

for

the

fas!e.u

shutter

speed,

1/2000

s,

the

'F*

stands

for

focal

plane

shutter

and

lhe*C'

stands

for

the

(Synchro^)

Com

pur

leaf

shutter.

So

you

can

work

with

(he

camera's

own

focal

plane

shutter

or

with

the

leaf

shutter

built

into

lenses

made

for

the

Hasselblad

SOOC,

SOOC/M,

500EL

and

500EL/l\4

since]957.

Lenses

especially

designed

for

the

HasselbJad

2000FC

will

he

referred

to

as

F

lenses

in

this

insiraciion

manual.

Lenses

with

Synchro-Compur

leaf

shutters

will

be

referred

to

as

C

lenses.

F

lenses,

which

hcn

e

no

built-in

shutter,

can

only

be

used

with

the

camercfs

focal

plane

shuiier.

But

when

u

C

lens

is

attached

to

the

Hasselbiad

2000FC,

you

can

either

use

the

camera's

focal

plane

shutter

or

the

leaf

shutter

in

the

lens.

The

focal

plane

shutter

serves

as

a

blind

nhen

the

leaf

.shutter

is

the

shutter

of

choice.

The

leaf

shutter

provides

the

advantage

of

flash

synchronization

at

all

shutter

speeds

down

to

1/500

s.

The

Hasselbiad

2000FC

has

an

electrorucclly

tuned

focal

plane

shutter

with

X

synchronization

at

1/90

.?

and

slower.

Electronic

shutter

timing

makes

for

extremely

accurate

shutter

operation.

A

choice

of

mirror

programs

is

another

feature

of

(he

Hasselbiad

2000FC.

The

photog¬

rapher

can

select

a

program

producing

instant

mirror

return

of‘

a

program

in

which

the

mirror

remains

in

Ike

raised

position

until

the

film

is

advanced

after

exposure.

The

mirror

can

even

be

locked

in

(he

raised

position

for

special

purpose

applications.

The

procedure

for

making

intentional

multiple

exposures

on

(he

same

frame

has

also

been

greatly

simpUfied

in

(he

Hasselbiad

2000FC.

This

manual

will

e.xplain

and

describe

some

of

(he

wayslo

is

always

advisahJe

to

thoroughly

study

a
