Looking to purchase my first Hasselblad!

I got three of them for sale in perfect technical and cosmetic shape. What are you willing to spend?

Thank you for the offer! My budget is currently around $1,400. If that's too low, I would appreciate any insight on the typical market prices for these cameras so I can save up accordingly.
Thanks!

I chose Hasselblads that are from circa 1990 or later for myself. Best wishes for our quest.

A really nice 501cm outfit is 3k USD and up. 500cm are more reasonable. The prices of Hasselblads have been just going up and up. Of course beat up stuff, missing correct focusing screen etc can be found, buyer beware.

501a are the youngest Hasselblad from the V series and, besides some models of the 200 series, probably the most expensive ones. Probably above your budget when looking for a kit with A12 back and a 80mm Planar.

If you look for 500CMs from 1980s (the serial number will give it away) that have been serviced recently, you should be fine.

It depends a lot on age and cosmetic condition. Your budget should get you a decent set of camera 80mm lens and an A12 back in good working order with some signs of wear. Mine are all in mint condition and look practically new out of the box. Consequently, I'm looking for $2,000 net to me. If you want to get into the system, you can do that for your budget.
