The Hasselblad Manual: A Comprehensive Guide to the System

Not sure why some reviews claim this book doesn’t cover film cameras. Admittedly there is a plethora of information on digital but that is to be expected in this day and age. I have both Hasselblad film and digital cameras and this book covers both. There are individual chapters on 503 and 200 series film cameras. It’s not an encyclopedia and therefore doesn’t cover the very old Hasselblad cameras. This book also provides detail on digital technology and how digital photography works. It is not super technical but is expansive enough to cover most situations with a Hasselblad camera. This book like its six predecessors is a 5 star read.

A comprehensive manual.

Excellent book which deals with the theory and practice to optimise use of these cameras

This is a helpful and extensive updating of the old--and enduring--classic on the Hasselblad system. It brings all 'blad lovers fully up to date in the 21st--and digitized century, with great emphasis on shooting in digital with all 'blad equipment. Reading it helps you feel confident in using 'blad equipment, whether when shooting film or digital...confidence that can count when on assignment. I recommend it highly.

The only new information in the manual is talk about the discontinued models and some talk on the workings of the Digital Cameras. It might have been exciting for the first time reader, but for me that have several older editions it was like reading the same material with a different cover.Hasselblad has much more to offer in the areas of technique with their cameras that would have been more exciting to this reader.

Very happy with the purchase and the service, thanks

Great book

I ordered an owners manual for early Hasselblad 120 film cameras. What I received was the latest and greatest manual for the all NEW DIGITAL FORMAT CAMERAS. This book is useless for my needs as it doesn't cove what I have. Can I return it and to whom?

Probably the most thorough and comprehensive book on the Hasselblad system out there, covering both analogue and digital.Recommended for anyone shooting with Hasselblad cameras.

Very recommendable for new Hasselblad users.

Mi interessava sola parte dedicata al sistema V, un po' scarsino, ma non può mancare nella libreria di un amante delle svedesi

Ce manuel aborde tous les aspects du système Hasselblad. Il est bien écrit, propose des explications claires, des croquis bien réalisées, et -cerise sur le gâteau- quelques belles photos. Je recommande à 100%

Riprendendo i vecchi manuali d'uso dei primi modelli a pellicola e fino alla H3D-50 in questa raccolta di informazioni stile manuale utente si trova di tutto anche qualcosa di utile.Per chi possiede gli ultimi modelli H5D o H4D devo dire però che forse è più utile il manuale a corredo con la fotocamera !!Tutto sommato però è un ottimo libro e fa bella figura sullo scaffale !!
