assembling and disassembling extension tube

[ivannoval]

As I can not afford a Makro lens Ibought a 50mm extension tube. I love the pictures that caan be taken with it. But I have a doubt. Assembling lens to the extension tube is ok, no problem. But when I disassemble the lens from the tube, the lens fires and I have to re-cock the shutter. Is this normal? Is it OK?

Thanks again!

To avoid a seized lens/tube/camera you need to follow the instructions from Hasselblad for fitting and removing the tube and the lens from the body.

Fitting:

First mount the extension tube to the body.
Before you do that make sure both the tube and the body are cocked.
Finally fit the lens to the extension tube.

Removal:
Take the lens from the extension tube, remove the extension tube from the camera.

Do not remove the combination of lens and extension tube(s)!

Thank you very much, Victorh. I didn´t find any instruction guide but you solved me the doubt. Im new with hasselblad and Im afraid you will have to help several times. Hope someday I can help other people.
