As a long, long ago owner of a 1000F, I can say that the most crucial and valuable part of this kit is the manual. A new owner must read instructions thoroughly before touching camera and follow them exactly.
The 1000F has one strong point. With adapters a wide range of lenses can be used, including Leica and Zeiss lenses made for 35mm cameras. Killfit adapters show up on the usual auction site.

Hmmm, I just checked offerings of Killfit/Hasselblad 1000F adapters there and there are none of them at this moment. They must be rare ~60 years later? I put easily together adapter for Killfit lens to Hasselblad V, but I'm missing camera mount for 1000F.

interesting. I had not realized that Hasselblad used Zeiss lenses on these cameras; I had assumed that they were all supplied with Kodak Ektars. (When I worked at Kodak, we found a 1000F-mount 135/3.5 Ektar in a drawer. We donated it to the George Eastman Museum, as they did not have one.)

Long after demise of my 1000F, I bought a 2000FCM. With Killfit adapters and adapters made by using Hasselblad micro lens block I was able to once again use my Killfit, Leica, Zeiss, and Nikon lenses. For years my standard lens was Killfit 90mm MacroKillar, and my only Hassy lens was 60mm. Only able to afford Hasselblad lenses when prices dropped due to arrival of digital capture. Now awaiting death of 2000 FCM (think Wotan waiting for death of oak tree and Valhalla). Believe it or not, longer Leitz, Zeiss, and Nikon lenses cover 66 format.
For eBay, add Killfit to your watch list because they show up occasionally.

The 1600F (the first Hasselblad) had Ektar lenses. I owned one 35+ years ago with 80mm and 135mm Ektars. At that time I had a brochure that also showed, if memory serves, 50mm and 250mm Ektars, but I've never seen either and if they existed at all they were almost certainly prototypes or mock-ups.

After a few years the 1600F was replaced by the much-more-reliable 1000F, which shared the same lens mount. I don't know if it was ever offered with Ektar lenses, or only with Zeiss glass.

And then came the 500C...

Very interesting point Steve! I recently bought 1000F with Ektar lens. Body is from 1957 (CU), Magazine from '55 (CC) and Ektar lens is from 1949 (ET).
It can be that originally 1000F was sold with Zeiss lenses.

My own 1000F came with Ektar lens, it was by using adapters that Zeiss, Leitz, etc lenses were used. After death of 1000F, I kept film magazines, which were used much later on 2000FCM. Unfortunately, great Ektar lens not adaptable, but able to fit MicroKilar with adapter. I only replacedoriginal 1000F film magazines a few years ago.
The package offered for sale is historically significant. But with 1000F, absolutely necessary to follow instructions when advancing film and cocking shutter because repair is most likely impossible. However, would be fun to shoot camera established Hasselblad as most coveted MF SLR.

Thanks for the link! Really interesting.

I also have one 1000f with Ektar 80, looking for the second body as backup and take a look inside.

 

[Mark Layne]

I have working 1000F and 1600F with Ektar 80s.
I have the 135 Tessar and the 60 Distagon
I have machined the mounts of various Russian lenses to fit

I once had to have a 1000F repaired by Frank Marshman at Camera Wiz.
Not sure if Frank is still working.
