Hoping there may be a Hasselblad expert out there!
Went taking shots today and experienced a jam on my 500cm, the lens started to come off rotated about 5mm then stopped and would neither come off or rotate all the way back on.
Got home and looked closer. The lens is unlocked and the camera is cocked, so I thought easy fix, open the rear secondary blinds and turn the small screw inside the body clockwise to recock the lens... no dice the screw only moved a small amount then stops. The lens rotates back and forth a small amount but that's it.
Also the mirror is in the down position.
Any ideas? I don't want to force anything obviously, but am loathed to have to send it off to get fixed as mechanical Hasselblad technicians are few and far between.
