Hasselblad Fact Friday

I will be posting a new informative Hasselblad fact every Friday. See just how much of a Hasselblad connoisseur you really are...

Here is an interesting tidbit of info. Did you know that Hasselblad lenses each have their very own central shutters?

Having a central shutter one each lens allows you you to have faster flash sync speeds than with focal plane shutters. Where many DLSR's have only a 1/200" or 1/250" maximum sync speed, the central shutters on Hasselblad lenses allow for up to 1/800" sync speeds! This means you can really work with ambient light in ways that you never thought possible and allows you to take your studio outside for a whole new world of possibilities.
