What cameras can the Telephoto Power Pack (TPP) be used with?
Carl Zeiss developed the TPP for use with Hasselblad cameras equipped with a focal plane shutter (200 series, like 201 F, 202 FA, 203 FE, 205 FCC and previous versions). The TPP will be available for these cameras as of June 1999. Integration of the TPP into other camera systems has not been decided to date. Since nowhere in medium format technology a central shutter of appropriate large diameter and fast speed is available, the TPP cannot be integrated in a medium format system relying on central shutters, like Hasselblad 500 series or Rollei 6000 system.
However, the TPP can be combined with many other cameras, especially 35 mm SLRs, using available adapters. This may cut back the functionality of the equipment in some cases (diaphragm may work manually only) but add new functions in others: autofocus operation with Contax AX 35 mm SLR camera is possible. | |
