Hasselblad 500 C/M Repair & CLA Service in UK

Abutate · Nov 21, 2016

Hello everyone!

Can someone recommend a reasonable service centre/repair shop who can cla my lately acquired 500 C/M and Clean Fungus from 80mm 2.8 Lens.
Perhaps a quick turnaround as well.

Kinda on budget that's why stated reasonable.

Thanks in advance

there's no such thing as reasonable if you mean cheap.
people who do this work properly are skilled technicians and charge appropriately for what is now a niche service.

try black on white in bristol or newton Ellis in Liverpool.

you won't get much change out of £150 for what you want done, if you're lucky.

buying into a hasselblad system isn't a good move if you're on a budget .

Newton Ellis fixed my completely busted Yashica that the local repair guy gave up on. However, out of the trinity - fast, cheap, and good - well you only get one I'm afraid. They weren't cheap and they weren't quick but the camera is completely sorted and it had a lot wrong with it.

I sent it on the strength of recommendations from here and FADU. The flash shoe was missing, shutter kept jamming, and I'd been told the lightmeter was too corroded to fix, but they did it all plus CLA. Cost over £150 and took a few weeks but worth it.
