[luvcameras]

FOR SALE: Late Transition Model 1970 Hasselblad 500C that has the 500CM feature of (user) interchangeable focusing screens. Includes: standard Waist level finder, A12 Roll film back also from 1970 with matching insert and purchased with the camera. Standard focusing screen. Original Leather Strap. Hasselblad CR 1.5 Skylight filter. Metal & Plastic Hasselblad lens hood.

This camera was purchased from an advanced amateur who shot Hassy and Leica from the 1970s-2000s. The system is used but very well cared for. The camera and lens have also been tested using my Phase One P25 Digital back. Camera focuses dead accurately - tested wide open and stopped down at closest focus and infinity. Pictures have terrific resolution! Close ups are at print size of 13"x18" Superb resolution from this camera/lens combo.

The lens is the 80mm f/2.8 Planar C lens, manufactured in 1969 and was purchased with the body originally.

Condition:

Camera: finder is excellent, screen is excellent, camera body is working properly and accurately. Shows signs of use but well maintained camera. Mirror up working properly. Clean mirror. Camera is an 8+ Roll film back shows use but is in good working order. It has been visually been tested for light leaks. [FYI - keep in mind that Hassy back light seals are a DIY task and the seals are $ 13 on ebay - no need to use a repairman. See http://www.hasselbladhistorical.eu/HT/HTSeal.aspx ]

Lens: The lens is in extremely nice condition ! Glass is a solid 9 with no haze, no fungus, no cleaning marks to speak of. One of the nicest early Planar lenses I have seen in years. Coatings are beautiful. Shutter is working well. Tested successfully. Would grade lens an easy 9 almost 9+, and the barrel an 8+.

Strap, filter and hood in very good and used condition.

This is a nice kit with terrific glass. An absolute classic medium format camera. And at far less money than a Leica M3. And this will smoke a Leica.
