It's done - a Hasselblad is in the mail

It sort of came pre-loaded, there was an old film still in it. I wonder what to do with that...

Develop it, of course! Who knows what treasures you might find.

Hey Antje,

late but sincere congrats form me too 440 Eur ! I would have gotten weak there too, together with the lenses its a bargain... I am eager to see the first results

Congrats Antje.
You will be happy with that lovely gear
I've has a Hassy 503 CXI and Pentax NII, and I sold it all, 10 month ago for purchase a Canon 5D and lens.
In October my stomach had butterflys flying inside, I can't live without my Hassy, What can I do? I thought, well, I buy a Hassel 2nd hand kit... but after looking for good prices, nothing, here in Spain, nothing for good money, example: 501 CM whith 80 2.8 Cf and a 12 back, 2000€ in 8 condition of 10
In other words, I took my credit card and purchase a new 501 CM with 80 2.8 Cfe and one 2nd back, I have paid all this gear in "comfortable" installments, for the next three years.
This is my sadly story, sell, lost money and purchase again and gain mental health.
Sorry for my bad English.

You will not regret your purchase when you see your first negatives. I love my Hassy and wish I could use it more, prefering 4x5 (for the movements)

But the camera is simply a joy to work with, and that square format works with everything!


Congrats.

Congrats on the camera.
The link below has a scan of the 500C manual online in case you want it (although most everything on a Hassy is selfexplanatory):
