from Used from LeCamera, New Jersey Summary: This is not a idle purchase: with the FE lenses, a PM5 or PM45 prism, E-12 and/or E-24, you are well in excess of $10,000.00, even used. However, you DO get what you pay for. There have been a lot of expensive bombs in medium format; this one should be a classic. The fact that you can start with just the body and use all your old lenses and backs actually makes it affordable as a move-up camera. If you have never owned a Hasselblad, you have no business buying one anyway. Strengths: This should be the flagship of Hasselblad's line, not the 205 which is really for Zone Photographers who carry 7 E-12 magazines. The through the lens metering is fast and accurate. Easy to use CF or C lenses as well and take readings through the lens. Weaknesses: After 30 years with a mechanical, it's a pain to ensure that you always have an extra battery along in case of failure. Similar Products Used: 500c; 500 C/M; 503cxi; 553ELX (not all at once, just the latter two currently.
Lenses: 40CFE,60CF,100CF,120CF, 135C,150FE,110FE,180CF, 250F,350C. Customer Service: This one hasn't needed it yet. They've come through for 32 years.
