Warning.. there are several types of trigger thingies...... they all fit
under the camera, and have either a lever or a cable to go from our trigger
finger to the shutter thingie.  

Get the one you think works best.... the one with the hard lever.....not the
cable one..... hint hint.....

Cranks are almost impossible to find.. why?>  Because since the 500C, they
all had the crank thingie standard.... so there are few left of the other
type.,....and they were an accessory......

WTF you want a meter on a Hasselblad?  You ain;t got no hand held meter?  No
Lunasix?   NO Zone VI Pentax modified Spotmeter?  Wimp!  Prepare to part
with serious money...   There was a CDS meter... NO!:   There was various
types of PM meter prisms  ( a bunch, the differences between I could never
figure out).. No!:  then there was the PME90 and PME45..... modern metering
prisms... 45degrees or 90 degrees.... YES!  ( OTOH, if you had not been such
a cheapskate and bought a real Hass3elblad, a 203 or a 2205, you would have
your stinking meter built into the body ( and had your down payment on a
house gone out the window)......
Forget the waist level finder.. go buy the PME45.  It has a meter, works
from 45 degrees ( chest level) and also works on a  tripod.....

Now go get serious and stop fahrting around.......

B*tch, b*tch, b*tch......
