On a Hasselblad 500 C/M is it possible to do double exposures, if so how would you do it?

can anyone also tell me what the orange numbers on the 2.8 planner SYNCHRO COMPUR lens mean?


Many thanks

First of all, the orange numbers usually refer to "T"-stops, which are more accurate than f-stops for fine calculations in exposure because they take the particular lens elements, size of barrel, length of barrel, etc, into consideration, where f-stops do NOT.


To do a double exposure with a Hasseblad you first make sure the camera is on a tripod. Then, after your first shot, you very carefully put the metal divider back in. Carefully remove the back. Slowly crank the film advance handle. Put the back back on. Remove the divider and take your second shot. It's a little bit of a hassle (no pun intended) but worth it. After you practice a few times, with no film in the camera, you'll get the hang of it and it'll be a snap.


Have fun.
Reply:I don't have a synchro compur lens but have cf lenses. i think you are referring to the 'ev' numbers which are a comnination of shutter and aperture. ie. if you meter a scene with a good meter it will have the ability to meter in Ev or Fno. A particular Fno and shutter speed will have a corresponding Ev value. Let's say I meter a scene and the Ev is 11. I set my marker to correspond with 11 on the dial. I can then depress the button on the F stop to lock both shutter and aperture and maintain 11 whilst turning the aperture ring. Sounds complicated but works great.
