The Hasselblad Manual

Not sure why some reviews claim this book doesn’t cover film cameras. Admittedly there is a plethora of information on digital but that is to be expected in this day and age. I have both Hasselblad film and digital cameras and this book covers both. There are individual chapters on 503 and 200 series film cameras. It’s not an encyclopedia and therefore doesn’t cover the very old Hasselblad cameras. This book also provides detail on digital technology and how digital photography works. It is not super technical but is expansive enough to cover most situations with a Hasselblad camera. This book like its six predecessors is a 5 star read.

A comprehensive manual.

Excellent book which deals with the theory and practice to optimise use of these cameras

The only new information in the manual is talk about the discontinued models and some talk on the workings of the Digital Cameras. It might have been exciting for the first time reader, but for me that have several older editions it was like reading the same material with a different cover.Hasselblad has much more to offer in the areas of technique with their cameras that would have been more exciting to this reader.

This is a helpful and extensive updating of the old--and enduring--classic on the Hasselblad system. It brings all 'blad lovers fully up to date in the 21st--and digitized century, with great emphasis on shooting in digital with all 'blad equipment. Reading it helps you feel confident in using 'blad equipment, whether when shooting film or digital...confidence that can count when on assignment. I recommend it highly.

lot of information, must buy one for all hasselblad lover

I ordered an owners manual for early Hasselblad 120 film cameras. What I received was the latest and greatest manual for the all NEW DIGITAL FORMAT CAMERAS. This book is useless for my needs as it doesn't cove what I have. Can I return it and to whom?

I had to return this and order a used copy of the 5th edition, so I could get better coverage of my 1966 500c

Mi interessava sola parte dedicata al sistema V, un po' scarsino, ma non può mancare nella libreria di un amante delle svedesi

Manuale che introduce al mondo hasselblad. Questa edizione è un po' troppo focalizzata sulla fotografia digitale: come è noto il sistema H di hasselblad non è proprio per tutte le tasche. Ampio spazio è comunque dedicato anche alle care vecchie macchine a pellicola. Mi sarebbe piaciuto trovare qualche tabella contenente tutti i modelli prodotti da hasselblad fino ad oggi con caratteristiche ed accessori. E' completamente in inglese, ben scritto e ed illustrato.

Riprendendo i vecchi manuali d'uso dei primi modelli a pellicola e fino alla H3D-50 in questa raccolta di informazioni stile manuale utente si trova di tutto anche qualcosa di utile.Per chi possiede gli ultimi modelli H5D o H4D devo dire però che forse è più utile il manuale a corredo con la fotocamera !!Tutto sommato però è un ottimo libro e fa bella figura sullo scaffale !!

good reading for hassleblad enthusiasts, very informative and interesting read, can recommend the contents fully, the book has been read several times.

Very recommendable for new Hasselblad users.
