202 FA

The Hasselblad 202 FA is the entry model of the 200 series, which means it is equiped with manual and aperture priority automatic exposure. TTL flash is also supported. 202 FA has a focal plane curtain shutter and cannot use the traditional coppal shutter of the lens (upper level 200 models can use both). Nethertheless it is possible to use the CF lenses in the F position which desactivates the lens shutter.

The 202 FA is better used with a prism viewfinder, as in fact it is not easy to see the LCD display with the standard focusing hood.

The handling is superb as usually with any Hasselblad camera.
