Title: Hasselblad HC 35mm
Post by: cyron123 on May 26, 2013, 02:43:36 pm
Hi guys,
I have a Hasselblad 3.5/35mm. I have bought this as a used lens some weeks ago. Now I have noticed that me fastest aperture is f4.0!!! I can not choose f3.5!!! It's there something wrong with the lens?
Best regards cyron

Cyron,

I just tested our 35mm lens on an H4D system, and I was able to achieve an f stop of 3.5.

I have a few questions that may help narrow down what the problem might be.

Which Hasselblad body/ system are you using?  Do you have the latest firmware updates on your body and lens? Have you been able to test your lens on a different body? Have you tried restoring the camera body to factory settings?

I would try updating the firmware and resetting your camera body. Is this lens new and under warranty?
