NOTES:
  "Twenty years after switching to leaf shutters, Hasselblad brought
  back focal-plane shutters with this model. Obviously there were many
  technological developments which made this possible. This camera has
  an electronically controlled titanium foil shutter with a top speed of
  1/2000 second. The camera's name reflects this top speed and the F
  indicates Focal plane shutter. The 2000FC uses a new "F" series lens
  which does not have a built-in leaf shutter. Of course, it will also
  accept the Compur shuttered C and CF series lenses using either the
  leaf or focal plane shutter." McKeown, 1997.
