Tested & working

 

Selling a lovely example of probably the most classic professional camera ever made. More magazine covers have probably been shot with this combination than any other. 

The camera is an engineering masterpiece and the lens one of the most legendary from Carl Zeiss. 

This lens is sharp across the plane with the typical neutral Zeiss color rendering, awesome shadow details and strong micro contrast. This is the earlier C model which was made entirely in metal and glass. Later versions had identical optics but more plastic. 

 

Condition:

The camera is in beautiful condition with only very limited signs of use. Hard to find a professional vintage camera in such nice condition. Cosmetically I would say it is 'Near Mint'.

Please inspect my well lit images carefully as they offer you accurate representation of the cosmetic condition. 

The camera works superbly. Winding is smooth, shutter is perfect and flaps returns to start position with a nice and reassuring Hasselblad ‘flop’.

A12 back is nice as the body and with matching serial numbers of the insert and the case.

The lens is in excellent condition. Optics are overall very clear and in awesome condition for crisp and sharp images. It has a little spot where it looks like a filter or lens cap has scuffed the coating. It doesn't show up in images at all. Besides that it is free of haze or fungus and only has the typical small amount of non affecting dust. 

Technically the lens is flawless. Focus ring is precise and free of play. Lens shutter hits all speeds accurately according to my measurements, including the slow speeds.

Focusing screen is in good condition.
