Are the Hasselblad like this?  They have some sort of coupling, don't they?
Maybe because Maitani wanted the OM-X (the originator) to be more like a
hassy?


Hi Bob,

Coupled aperture and shutter speed were the default on "C" and "CT" lens manufactured from ~1957 to ~1982. With these lens there's a catch that you depress to adjust them individually. Starting with the "CF" series of lens in '82 this feature was replaced by a button that you push to couple them and the default is to adjust them independently.

Maybe Hassy decided to be more like Olympus?  (just kidding!)

Later,
Johnny
