Description
The power supply for the Hasselblad 500 EL series is often problematic because the original batteries are hardly available anymore. We designed this adapter to enable operation with five modern AAA batteries. The total of 5x 1.2V NiMh batteries exactly matches the 6V required by the motor. Please make sure that your camera’s 1.6A fuse is intact.
Important note: The batteries must NEVER be charged in the camera’s original charger. Please use only an external charger.
Compatibility
Fits various cameras, including:
- Hasselblad: 500 EL, 500 EL/M, 500 ELX, 553 EL [...]

Funktioniert, lediglich das Entfernen der Akkus ist etwas fummelig.
Der Adapter für die Hasselblad ELM funktioniert perfekt. Die Kamera arbeitet einwandfrei mit den eingelegten Batterien. Das Herausnehmen der Batterien gestaltet sich leider etwas kompliziert. Es empfiehlt sich, ein Stoffbändchen hinter die Batterien zu legen um die Batterien leichter aus dem Adapter zu entfernen. Der Preis für die Adapter ist relativ hoch, aber ich nehme an, das ist der geringen Produktions-Stückzahl geschuldet. Wer weiterhin mit der elektrischen Hasselblad arbeiten möchte, ist mit dem Adapter gut bedient.
