I just spent an hour sticking little triangles onto the barrels of all my XCD lenses and adapters. Why? Because Hasselblad refuses to mark how to orient the lens for camera attachment without removing the rear cap, rotating the lens, and squinting until the tiny red dot shows up. The V lenses at least have a red arrow visible from the back of the lens mount, but HC and XCD lenses don't. Leica, Mamiya, and Fuji lenses all have big red dots on the sides of their barrels. Pentax matches the dot with the top of the lens. No idea about Phase One.
Am I the only one annoyed by this? I know you can look for the "Hasselblad" name on the lens, move about 1cm past the "d" and it's around there, but what's with the red dot phobia?
