I just ordered a Hasselblad 501cm

No, I haven't been there and I also don't carry a screwdriver.
It's very simple, expose frame, wind crank, expose frame, wind crank..., see, very simple!

Same here, but now that we said this, it will probably happen tomorrow. I'll better go and get that screw driver.

[Q.G.]

Good decision.

Ok i got the camera early Anyways, i see some tiny circle markings on the inner glass of the lens, are those fungus or blemishes, should i be worried??

 

[Q.G.]

Can you show them to us?

 

[Rinthe]

hmm i tried to capture it on my point and shoot, but its not working out..

these are little round circle marks with a few smaller dots inside the circles

Ok i got a picture for it:

[Q.G.]

Hard to tell what it is, but it doesn't look like something nice.
Looks like they are on the rear surface though. Have you tried cleaning the lens?

 

[Rinthe]

something nice?? No it's on the inner glass i think, not outside. i cant get to it

edit: ops nm i misread what you said Q.G.

 

[dentkimterry]

I would send it back for a replacement. KEH is good about this. I have gotten bargain lenses before that were in very nice condition.

 

[André E.C.]

If it's a fungus issue, the marks should look like a spiderweb or spreading fillaments, do they?

dentkimterry, i didn't get it from KEH, but i got it from someone but the person is willing to take it back.

Andre E.C., no it does not look like a spiderweb, if you look at the images i posted earlier, they're just a bunch of little circles. thing is that they're inside, i can't get to it.

I've seen some spots similar to that on some Rollei close up lenses.
Don't know what it was but it was impervious to anything I had.
Lens cleaner, window cleaner, ammonia etc. I don't think they had any dramatic effect on the pictures
but in theory they did.

Keep looking and another one will find you. You will know because it is looking for a good home.

[Q.G.]

(there was a url link here which no longer exists)

But wait until you've had a genuine ITAH-moment (which is a thing more likely to have happened to you when you still didn't have one).
