Up for your consideration is my Hasselblad 500CM kit with the 120mm CF T* lens, WLF (2 of them), A12 back and OpTech strap. ALSO included with this full and functional kit are: NC2 prism, Polaroid back (just bought this! - used one pack of film on), rapid wind crank, extra lens rear cap, optional plastic screen (see description), bay 60 to 77mm filter ring (basically new - it was $35), another WLF and black Kiwi film bag.
Now - the good:
Camera works flawlessly. Lens is in great shape, camera looks nice (no flaws) for it's age, and all works as it should.
The ugly:
The NC2 is butt ugly but works fine (included in pics is the invoice from KEH for $38).
The extra focus screen, while new, is one of those plastic knock off jobs (from somewhere in Europe) and didn't come with the frame. You can use it or not - I never bothered to after I realized that it needed the metal from that a regular screen has.
The bad:
The A12 back does something weird. It started on the last roll I ran through it (and right after I attempted to use a cable release for the first time with this camera). It will lock up at around frame 5, and not allow you to advance/cock. What I do: put the dark slide in, remove the back, wind the body crank which cocks the shutter, then manually wind the back to the next frame, re-attach the back and remove dark slide. This happened on the last roll I shot - and only with this back. I'm sure it can be easily fixed - or you could just find a new back. This phenomenon only occurs with this A12 back, so I know it's the back and not the body.
So, in light of the WHOLE kit ... plus extras ... minus wonky back (I'm thinking like a $35 fix job) ... based on previous sales ... I would like to get $995 for this whole kit. Shipping WILL BE EXTRA. I can send it USPS or UPS ground. I will pack it very well (in the bad with lots of bubble wrap) and then in a box. It will be at least $25 for shipping with all the weight. US ONLY (sorry).
Thanks for looking!

I thought it would be gone by now!
