I got this in a trade. I've run 1 roll through it. I thought I should hang onto it in case my Mamiya 6 has any other issues but I simply do not like the "feel" of this type of camera and it should be being used rather than sitting in my safe.
Overall it is in fine user condition showing only minimal wear. I did not test it with the winder, but the winder looks to be in great shape. Based upon my reading I think this should have had an accute matte screen from the factory. It does not. It seems to have the standard cross-hair screen.
Considering I have very little experience with Hasselblad, I found it to be smooth albeit clumsy in operation. Film advance, shutter everything functioned just fine I simply find it clumsy in the hand.
The glass on the lens is clean and clear. I have the appropriate lens cap but no body cap. The slide for the film magazine is in nice shape. There are a couple of minor dents in the focal plane shutter. I have seen pictures of much worse shutters while doing research that people say work just fine. please feel free to ask questions but realize that I am a Hasselblad novice and will likely cite internet wisdom. I do know that if you are going after the 110mm F2 lens, this is one of the camera bodies you would need.
Prices for Hasselblad seem to be getting mildly silly again... The internet is also vague on whether the 2000 series should be worth more or less than a 500 series.
Let's start at $1700 with PayPal fees and insured shipping included within the US.
