True. It is very logical. And nothing gets jammed. If you, somehow,
screw-up, turn the little slot in the direction of the red arrow, and
that's it!
I've owned and used Hasselblads since 1962. And plenty of extension
tubes. In a heavy duty commercial photography environment. I have
never had a jammed Hasselblad. Neophytes may think they have a jammed
Hasselblad, but there is always (99%) an easy solution. OTOH, I have,
right now, a jammed Yashica TLR. I had to send my Rolleicord in for
repair (sometime in the fifties) when it locked-up and would not
cock, shoot, or wind.
This "jammed Hasselblad" syndrome is, AFAIAC, is a myth.

One would have to be PF stupid or retarded to forget the H'blad "protocol" for changing lenses/ extension tubes.
