The two books you'll want are "<FontFamily><param>verdana</param>The Hasselbladanual," fifth edition, by Ernst Wildi and the "Hasselblad Compendium." The Hasselblad Manual<FontFamily><param>Times New Roman</param> is a treasure tve of information and a dynamite basic photography book explaining everything, with lots of illustrations, including DOF! :) And it, of course, tells everything there is to know about all of the Hasselblad cameras, lenses, and accessories.
