Trouble attaching a lens.

Just spent the day out on the Spurn Point peninsula in East Yorks. All going well until I tried swapping the 80mm with the 50mm - but it wouldn't attach! Anyone had a similar problem? The 80mm re-attached quite easily but the 50 didn't seem to want to engage in the camera body - a 503CX. Any suggestions please?
 
Got it sorted! Somehow I took off the 50mm whilst it was un-cocked e.g. the diaphragm was closed. After perusing Ernst Wildi's excellent books on all things Hasselblad, I realised the connecting shaft needed turning with a coin to align it to the camera body - voila!
