Hello everybody.
I have a hasselblad 500 c/m that I want to sell, I'm just more of a tlr person. I'm looking for a rolleiflex mx-evs and a complete mamiya c330f kit (meaning a body and three or four lenses +paramender). Is it possible to get all this for my hasselblad? I've just put the add up on the hasselblad for 1300 dollars, with a planar 80mm lens, and two a12 backs. everything has just been cla'd.
with the rolleiflex I want a more old school look, and the mx-evs fits my needs perfectly. With the mamiya i want to use it's capability to use both wide angle and telephoto lenses. I would want a 50mm and maybe a 105 and the 180 or the 135 (I don't care for the 250!).
I want to use these mostly for portraits in situations where my toyo 810g just becomes too heavy.
Please tell me your thoughts.
Best Regards
Mads Hartmann

Ah can give you a C220 with 65,80,105,135, and 180 for that Hassy. I'll even throw in a prism finder. The only thing you miss is the auto cocking of the lens and the parallax display. I got one of those paramenders for that too.

Hello Tim
Thanks for your kind offer, but I must recline though. Although it would be nice to have all those lenses, I dont want to compromise on the c330f, also I would still really like to have the rollei mx-evs.
Again my problem is I dont know how much the hasselblad will give me.
It would be nice if I at least could get a mamiya c330f with the 55 (not 50 as I wrote in my first post, the 50 of course doesn't exist), 105 and 180 (the 135 would be nice too though) and the rolleiflex mx-evs. Everything has to be in perfect working order, and the mamiya lenses has to be all black ones. I dont want a camera with any problems what so ever (Of course tim I'm not implying that yours has any!), and the lenses has to be clean with fully working shutters. Of course I'm willing to offer a trade, but I dont want any less than I offer!

loman,

Where were you when I dumped my C330f with 65mm, 80mm and 250mm plus paraminder ... for a Hassy CX

Two months ago?

You took that offer laying down.

I wouldn't make that trade either if I were you. But you never know till you make the offer. *L* I keep my equipment in good working order, but pristine it isn't. The C220 will probably hang around awhile. I haven't touched it since the rb67 showed up. I am working on techniques to learn how to street shoot with the rb's 50mm lens, a magnifying hood, and a pistol grip. The 50mm of course makes focusing a trivial problem, fast enough film makes camera shake a non-issue. Pictures next week.

Good luck on your search.

Hello Tim
That sounds like quite a stunt! I know a guy who does portraits with his rb67 almost exclusively handhold. And I most say it surprised me how well it fits in your hands, much better than a hasselblad in my opinion, but maybe that's just me.

By the way tim, if it had been a c330 (preferebly the F or S, they the most reliable according to my research) and not a c220 you had offered me with all those lenses, I would have jumped on it!
