Informative but Touting the Company Line

After 25 years of photography I bought my first Hasselblad, soon I bought the manual. I like it very much, because it tells me technical details not included in the user’s manuals or the catalogue. For example, if you want to know, which extension tube helps you to a certain working distance and a certain enlargement together with a special lens, you will learn all this from the manual. I suggest to buy the manual before you buy a Hasselblad. It will help you to choose the model best fitting to your needs

Good not great
This book is okay for the novice Hasselblad user, of which I am one. Since it tries to be all things to all people, you have to wade through a lot to find what you are looking…

I purchased this book because I had just bought a used Hasselblad that didn’t come with a manual, and discovered it wasn’t so easy to guess how to use it. I’m glad I found this book because it has been the biggest help to me so far and I’m not even through reading it. Not only does it explain every camera that Hasselblad ever made and what makes it unique, it goes into detail about all the different accessories and what they do also. This book could just explain how things work and leave it at that, but it does go into detail about why certain parts of the camera work a certain way and for what reason. I now know how to use my Hasselblad and I recommend this book to anyone who needs a little jump start like I did with these great cameras.

Very dissapointing!
I bought this based upon other reviews. I was grossly dissapointed. This book is a product of the 60s - 70s that’s been added to as Hassleblad releases new lines.

Disappointed
This is a great book if you have new or nearly new hasselblad equipment. Example of lack of details are very little information about the older prisem finders and he does not even…

The standard Hasselblad book
Hasselblad cameras have good and bad points. The good points are that they are, through longevity and marketing as well as other qualities, the standard in pro medium format…

The perfect Manual
This book has become my Hasselblad BIBLE. It goes into everything you need to know about the entire Hasselblad system, and best of all it explains the entire workings of the…

high priced for it’s value
Although a good book as such, this title to me does not live up to the high expectations anyone would have from Hasselblad related products.

The best Camera Manual
No one uses all the features of a camera. This book gives concise instruction and graphic detail of the complete line of Hasselblad cameras.
