Question : Hasselblad 500CM or 501CM
Hello,
I am planning to purchase this camera. Do you know if this camera has a built-in light meter like most of 35mm ? Thank you. |

No. The meter is in the prism (if you buy a metering prism $$$) and isn't coupled to the camera. IMHO you're better off with a hand held meter and use the waist level finder unless you're planning on doing a bunch of macro work with ext tubes etc where TTL metering is a bonus. It's MUCH ligher and brighter using these this way. Now the 200 series does have metering built in but that's a different beast. -- Stacey |

You must do everything by hand. Superlative lenses and results, though. -- Transpose hotmail and mxsmanic in my e-mail address to reach me directly. |

Hello, I am planning to purchase this camera. Do you know if this camera has a built-in light meter like most of 35mm ? Go for the 501. It's sliding mirror design is an improvement over the 500's: brighter and no vignetting (granted, that's only on the acute matte, and not on the film). Thank you. You're welcome. |

Bigsand, Just a note: there are two 501s. The 501 which indeed has the feature described is the "501 CM", not the "501 C", which does not. Always be careful when just a Hasselblad type number is given without the (always more important) letters. |
