Manufacturer description #1

The Hasselblad 2000FCW is a medium format camera with extremely fast shutter speeds, large aperture lenses and optional winder operation. The 2 1/4 X2 1/4 format and its compatibility with the extensive selection of accessories from the Hasselblad system provide the camera with maximum flexibility, making it ideal for demanding professional photography.

The 2000FCW is compatible with both the high speed F-series lenses with no shutter and the CF-series lenses with built-in leaf shutters - a total of 20 lenses with 15 different focal lengths from the 30mm fish-eye to the 500mm telephoto. The focal lengths of the telephoto lenses can be doubled with the Hasselblad Mutar 2X Teleconverter. All of the lenses are made by Carl Zeiss, West Germany. A zoom lens, the 140-280 mm Variogon f/5.6 is made by Jos. Schneider of West Germany.

The focal plane shutter made of titanium is electronically controlled and its fastest speed is 1/2000s. Together, full-speed and in-between speed settings provide a total of 23 different shutter speeds. With a CF-lens mounted on the camera, the photographer can choose to work with the camera's own focal plane shutter or with the built-in leaf shutter of the lens. If the built-in leaf shutter is chosen, then the camera is completely independent of battery operation and can be synchronized for electronic flash down to 1/500 s.

All of the film magazines in the Hasselblad system can be used on the 2000FCW. When changing film magazines, the camera's focal plane curtains are automatically retracted from the film opening for protection.

Film advancement and shutter cocking are done manually with the winding crank or automatically with the Hasselblad Winder. This accessory provides the ability to take sequential pictures at a speed of 1.3 frames/s. Double exposures can be taken by simply disengaging the film advancement.

The camera comes with a focusing hood that is equipped with a fine-focusing magnifier. Interchangeable correction magnifiers for compensating faulty vision are option. Several types of focusing screens and prism viewfinders with or without light meter are available as extra accessories.

The camera's mirror delivers a non-vignetting viewfinder image and can be programmed for instant return, return when the shutter is cocked or locked in a raised position.
