[HUG] Re: Which to fix

Ivan,
In most cases, when a lens "trips" or fires when removed from a camera body, it is because the front key position on the camera body is a little bit too low, and needs to be adjusted. When a lens is sluggish, especially at the slower shutter speeds, it is because the lens needs to be cleaned, lubricated and adjusted.

I have been using a Hasselblad 500 C/M system for the last year, on loan from my employer who has gone totally digital. It is unlikely that they will pay for any more repairs and I am afraid that if they end up facing a repair bill may send the entire outfit to government surplus. If I had the opportunity to purchase the system I would but it does not work that way and it would be just as easy to buy another system as this one.
The problem is that the lens I use the most the 80 mm Planar T* uncocks every time I dismount the lens and the 100mm lens’ shutter is slow, especially on the slower speeds. I am wondering what makes the 80 uncock and how expensive would it be to fix? Both the 150 and the 50 also work flawlessly on unmounting. I do have a shutter tester so can work out the true shutter speeds for the 100 and work according. It would be nice to not have to do this though.
