Hello everybody
I'm a newbie with Hasselblad but shot with 35 mm cameras (and 4x5) for more than 30 years.
I've already appreciated this forum by reading very good advice. I tried to solve my problem by myself but I don't want to break something in my "new" 500C/M
In fact the lens is on the body, the shutter is open (white dot on the side of the camera ), the mirror is down (I can look through the finder and focus but it's not easy to look inside the body when the back is removed). Everything is blocked : I can not release the shutter or remove the lens. I would like to know if I can follow http://cesarigd.club.fr/photoe2b.htm or am I in another situation ?(the mirror is down in my camera but seems to be up on the pics by Dominique Cesari). He also says to strengthen gently the srewdriver. Does it mean I must be very "soft" with the tool?
Last question : how does it happen? I took pics yesterday - everything was fine. I didn't remove the lens (only change the screen) before cocking the shutter ... but nothing is working now. As I'm a curious guy I would like to understand.
I
TIA for your help
Bernard
