Hasselblad 500 C (deliberately mechanical) with waist level finder, handle, straps, A12 & 24 backs, Planar 80mm, Sonnar 150 and 250mm lenses with all but one cap. All are Carl Zeiss T* lenses. I bought this outfit four years ago to replace a similar one that I'd used extensively for a decade, shooting at below freezing in MN and 104+F in Utah because it is not electronic, but lost it in a house fire. However, I have never used this. I have put it through its paces and it appears to be in excellent condition except the 24 back which has an engraved ID. Located in dry New Mexico.
Will also include 5 rolls of Fuji XP? 220 at the bottom of my freezer. Expired, but continually frozen. And a new Timbukt2 camera bag that looks to be appropriate for the outfit. UPON REFLECTION, NOW ASKING $2,400.
I can pack it, or you can pay for professional packing by UPS or FedEX with guaranteed coverage. In either case, you pay for shipping and insurance to North American address.

There are free image resizing apps that will shrink your files automatically to 150kb or about, while keeping quality at more than adequate level. Can do same directly on line for free.
 
Welcome to Photrio.
If you resize jpegs down to 1000 pixels on the long dimension, the uploader should work fine.
 
You can download GIMP free and then import each photograph, resize, export and then save. That is what I do. I wish you a pleasant sale.
 
I've used Gimp for years and it is a very powerful tool.
 
Even the lowly Windows photo app will allow you to resize your photos to an acceptable size.
 
Thanks for the numerous replies and suggestions. Certainly worth the $24 that I sent to Photrio. I've installed Compressor.io and squashed all photos for the seven cameras I want to sell, after compressing within my Mac o/s insufficiently, and have downloaded GIMP to try. Guess I should reduce the camera prices to acknowledge the friendliness of Photrio patrons.
 
Do yourself a favor, sign up for a free account at an image host like imgur.com and upload your photos there. You won't run into any image size restrictions. Then link to the hosted images from your post(s) on Photrio. This way you don't have to mess around with software to resize your images.
 
thank you happy to be here!

can only imagine the images this camera would make. beautiful! I shoot mostly documentary/humanist style street photos and candid/environmental portraits. waist level tlr and 35mm RF. have you shot one of these before?

Happy Thanksgiving!

to Sir Robert, sorry to hear about your housefire years back. ive had two myself in buildings ive lived. They can be very devastating and traumataic events. i hope everyone was okay.

Closest I've got to something like this is a Bronica S2 with a shutter that's got one foot in the grave. I shoot everything, I don't think I have what qualifies at a style.

Enjoy your turkey!

Nothing wrong with a good gyro. Or grinder, or sub, or hoggie, or whatever you call 'em.
 
Prior to the fire I used Yashicamat 124 and various Leicas as well as the Hasselblad. Shooting people from waist level is best, in my opinion, and the Hasselblad always 'takes' beautifully.

I got into photography in the first place because of WLVF. I saw a photo of a TLR and told myself 'I need one of those.' So I got two. One is broken now, the other is on a shelf in semi-retirement. I now feed my 120 cameras using hand slit 70mm film. My wallet is thankful but my fingers are not always so happy. On the plus side I might not have to worry about finger prints in the future.
 
Very true, Sir Robert! I prefer waist level over most anything. The perspective creates a very noticeable energy to the image. A strength or dignity in some cases. Even on my 35mm SLR, I've gotten to where I can shoot "waist level" in portrait orientation. Some of my favorite photos taken that way. And also my Yashica D! very capable little cameras. the best camera is the one youve got in your hands, as they say

Cholentpot, thats amazing, the handslit film. must be one a hell of an activity. i havent gotten quite that far into "bulk loading" just yet but if i do ill be sure to keep plenty bandages ON HAND lollll

apologies for cluttering up the listing with all my yammering
 

Bulk loading 120 isn't for everyone. One you get it under your thumb...
 
@Cholentpot i have a few rolls of 35mm in loaders currently. tried to buy a few different iso rolls before everything went up in price. is 70mm easy to come by in a variety of film stocks?

@SirRobert i sent you a message. Good luck with sale
