p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · How does the Hasselblad Bay60 filter work? (Stupid question...)


This is embarrassing. I just picked up an old 501C after many years of having gone without my old standby, the Mamiya RB, and I can't figure out how to use the proprietary Bay 60 filter mount.

I bought a B+W filter, but it simply slides on and slides off loosely.

Is it supposed to click in place, or are the flanges supposed to be pulled up so they aren't flush with the rest of the ring and provide friction? Is that all that's holding the filter in place? That seems... slippery.

I probably should've just gotten a B60 -> 67mm adapter like everyone else, but noooo.... I wanted to be fancy. Drat.

Thanks!

As long as it stays in place you're good. Bayonet mount > threads. Stay cool.

It should click into place. It may take a little extra twist to get it to the lock point.
