Janet.. before you send off the back for service, do the following ( taught
to me by a Hasselblad Repair Tech......!)
Take garbage film... ( you will be throwing it away after this test)
Load film into back: load back onto camera.
Turn winder till you get to picture #1
Remove the lens. ( remember that it is cocked.....Important when you put it
all together again....) Put lens aside.
Pull the dark slide......put it aside.
Take a pencil or ( and best) ball point pen and lightly OUTLINE your film
aperture right on the film. It will later appear as a square roughly
56mmx56mm mark on the film.
Push shutter release
Cock film, do it again...... mark and expose and crank.....until you get all
12 shots on there.
Roll up the film onto the take up spool
Put dark slide back in now.
Remove film from camera.
Make sure the camera is cocked, replace lens. Put camera aside.
Separate film from backing. Note that the first exposure is at the TAPE
end of the roll. ( It gets PULLED through the camera by the tape attached
to the film)
Look at the film.. do not bother with developing it.... ( and remember it is
toast because it was exposed to light anyway.)
Where are the square ( 12 exposure back I assume) marks on the film?
Are they in the right or wrong places?
Is there a pretty uniform distance between the pencil squares?
Now you KNOW what your camera is doing, and if you need to send it to a tech
for work, you can send the marked film along as a witness to what the camera
is doing.....
