Time of improvement of the 1102 FTCCFE

Rick Nordin,

My CARL ZEISS PLANAR 2/110 T* 8105403 with baffle was purchased new directly from Hasselblad (New Jersey HQ) in 1999.

Hi Austin,

I stated:

"This lens is not suitable for a conversion to make it work with 200 series cameras."
Of course "work" should be read as "communicate".

I am quite well aware that any C, CF, CFi or F lens can be used with 200 series cameras with the stop down method or the constant aperture mode as you call it.
The 202FA is slightly different in this respect and will only allow the use of CF and F and FE lenses.
The CF lens should be set to F mode as the leafshutter is not to be used with the 202FA.

Some users of 200 series cameras do like the comfort and facilities that lenses with databus provide and consider adapting their lenses.

This is the rear of a lens that I have. It has what appears to be "patches" on the rear of it but no baffle as you guys have mentioned. Can anyone tell me why these are here? Also, if one does not have the baffle shown in the above photos on the back of the 110mm FE lens does it mean the lens is inferior in any way relative to results?

If this has been said I apologize and must have missed it. It is a long and old thread I was reading through.

Thanks in advance.

'Inferior' is not the word I would be using. Zeiss is one of these proverbial German-engineering-excellence companies that will forever tweak their products in search of improvement. However minute that improvement might be.

A very refreshing approach in todays "about right is good enough, and if not we have PS to fix it" world.

Carl Zeiss only makes two kinds of lenses:
very good ones and better ones.

Many designs are decades old and still going strong.
Glass elements from the last series will even fit some lenses manufactured for the 500C bodies manufactured
40-50 years ago.
 
Thanks guys but can anyone tell me the answer to my question above concerning those patches I point to in the photo?
