BEST COMPLETE 500C/M ON eBay, NO RESERVE!
  • The camera body and the back (matching insert) were serviced and went through a CLA in January 2024. They operate at factory specifications. This is a $550+ value by itself!
  • It is now an incredible pleasure to use this camera and hear and feel the mechanism operating so smoothly!
  • Each picture from this camera can easily be scanned to 200Mbytes, leaving in the dust the very best ($15K+) DSLR's from Nikon, Leica or Canon.
  • The camera was upgraded with the following options:
    • A Rapid Winding Crank (the original crank is also included)
    • A mint $450 value Hasselblad PM5 45° Prism
    • A desirable and rare Hasselblad 42250 Bright focusing screen with grid and micro-prism in its original box.
    • A great Carl Zeiss Sonnar 4/150mm CF T* lens
  • The PM5 prism is one of the best prisms Hasselblad made. It enlarges the image 3 times and un-reverses it.
  • The PM5 Prism is much easier to use than the standard waist level finder and allows a more accurate and faster focusing.
  • The micro-prism screen makes focusing much faster, easier and more accurate than the standard screen. This screen is also brighter than the original 500C/M screen.
  • This is a Unique opportunity to acquire one of the best Hasselblad 500C/M complete system in great cosmetic and working condition.
  • This camera system IS NOT sold "as is": The camera, back and lens are covered by our return policy and our thirty days warranty.
  • The camera body is in mint condition. One of the most important parts to check is the plate where the back attaches: when abused, you have light leaks. The plate of this camera shows almost no sign of use.
  • The included Carl Zeiss 150mm CF lens is in very good cosmetic condition. It is incredibly sharp, with pristine glass.
  • This lens has been the favorite lens of fashion magazines and other high quality publications for 30 years. Much better than the standard 80mm lens.
  • From portraits to nature, this lens has produced among the best pictures published around the world.
  • All speeds, including slow speeds, have been electronically tested and are accurate.
  • The camera and lens have been tested with a digital back (Hasselblad) and are guaranteed to work with digital backs.
  • This camera system IS NOT sold "as is": The camera, back and lens are covered by our return policy and 30 days warranty.
  • The camera and lens have been tested with digital backs (PhaseOne and Hasselblad) and are guaranteed to work with digital backs.
  • We do not carry C lenses: they are too old, optically inferior, their maintenance is almost impossible as the parts have disappeared, their Compur shutter is unreliable and speeds inaccurate.
  • Contrary to what some unscrupulous sellers say, A24 backs do not work with 120 film (the only film available today).
