Nice, but gold is a pretty soft metal, as soon as you bash someone on the head with it, it'll deform out of shape.

oh, wait, you said 'kill for', not 'kill with' (actually, I suppose any hassy is a hassy to kill with...)

Tacky. All you need to complete the set would be a gold tooth and some big mags with low-profile tires.

You would look like that flavor flavor fellow with that thing around your neck.

gold standard

Every photo you took with that thing would likely be a disappointment for people you showed them to. "He has a Gold Hasselblad and this is all he gets?"

Flavor Flav? Yeah, One of E. von Hoegh's faves.

You would need to replace the lens with a clock or E.'s preference of a railroad watch.

Bling Hasselblads are depressing. It should be a well-made tool, not a status symbol.

I'm sorry Allen, I dislike tarted up cameras too.

Just quietly leave it on my back porch, and nobody has to know a thing. Not my idea of an overly beautiful camera, but I assume it still exposes film just fine.

I think you should accept this extremely generous offer Allen.

Honestly, I would have snakeskin leatherette put on and shoot the tar out of that thing, what a blast it would be!

Hasselblad goes Gangsta Rapper or better 50 Cents and that's how much I would pay for such bling.

Yo Yo Yo I have a Hassy and some Babes both stole from some crates, my life in the mansion is boring that's why I send my camera whoring.....

I have seen a similar Mamiya RB67 and nearly had to puke, but they seem to sell in the Asian markets, don't know the reason.

It could sit in your display case with the gold M Leica and Alpas you need too.
I think the Leica's more money though.

Of course there's the Leica Luxus that's even more valuable. One in the Leica museum one in private hands?
