Looking back into shooting 6x6 and am currently interested in getting any of the colored Hasselblad 503CW kits, preferably red or yellow.

Will also consider other kits in the chrome 500/501CM ranges but preference is for the colored 503CW's.

Regards,
Shailendra

I know someone who is selling a yellow 501CM. The last I heard, he was asking for 3200$ for a mint condition 501cm with matching WLF, 1 120 back and 80 CF. Let me know if you are interested.

Thanks for the response, that price is higher than what I'd like to consider, but I would be interested at a lower price.

Camera Leather...

Regarding the colored Hasselblads of the final production runs. If you don't put a premium on it being original, go to cameraleather.com and get a re-leather kit for a Hasselblad priced in your range. Little do many know that the only way to take apart a Hasselblad is to remove the coverings to get at the screws. You can make your Hasselblad just about any color or texture you please.

I actually ended up getting a 500CM via KEH.

I was going to suggest this too. But instead of leather go fur. Maybe Dalmatian?

Unfortunately yes, but then again, the colors don't take the photos, right?
