Hasselblad 202FA Medium Format Camera

Hasselblad 202FA Medium Format Camera

Hasselblad announces the introduction of a new entry-level model to the 200-series camera system - the Hasselblad 202FA. The 202FA replaces the 201F - the basic focal plane shutter model - and features in addition an efficient integral metering system perfectly suited for the photographer who wants a camera that is easy to operate. The new camera is user-friendly, favourably priced and produces the outstanding image-quality that places the user at a true professional level.

The Hasselblad 202FA is a versatile and technically advanced camera with many features similar to the 203FE model. The combination of extremely precise multi-mode exposure metering systems and flash metering including fill-in flash control makes it first choice for demanding photographers who often work on location under unpredictable light conditions and fast-moving subjects. The highly sensitive selective area TTL metering system can be set to automatic exposure and by attaching the optional winder, the photographer can work with the camera hand-held fully concentrating on the subject.

The Hasselblad 202FA is equipped with a focal plane shutter producing shutter speeds from 1/1000th of a second up to 34 minutes and it provides the fastest flash synch speed among medium focal plane shutters: 1/90th of a second.

The Hasselblad 202FA is primarily designed for the large aperture FE lenses, including the fastest lens in the medium format, the FE 110 with an aperture of f/2. However it can also be used with all Hasselblad CF lenses at the F-setting.

The Hasselblad 202FA is part of the world's most comprehensive medium format system with over 300 items for all kinds of photographic applications. Apart from a wide range of lenses, the Hasselblad 202FA can also be fitted with a winder allowing 1.3 frames per second, film magazines for 120, 220, 70 mm and Polaroid film, viewfinders, a large range of bright Hasselblad focusing screens, and a variety of useful accessories such as close-up and flash equipment.
