[S][USA-IL] Hasselblad 500 C / C/M full kit with lens, lens hood, back, finder, body, winder, and focus screen - repost-price reduced

https://imgur.com/a/ktS2gX3

Selling this Hasselblad 500 C for $1550 $1350 +$20 for shipping.

I purchased this from the granddaughter of the original owner back in 2020. The camera has been in great functional condition since. The A12 back may need a new light seal in the near future, the body, lens, and back have some cosmetic scratches, and the leatherette is slightly peeling across the body and the back. Despite this, this Hasselblad is in great working order and is free from damage where it counts when it comes to making sharp images. This includes a lens that is free from scratches and fungus.

The reason for putting in the post title “Hasselblad 500 C / C/M” is because this particular camera was made in between Hasselblad’s transition to manufacturing the 500 C and C/M. What this means is that while the camera is labeled 500 C, it is functionally a 500 C/M making it somewhat of a rarity. You can remove and easily replace the focusing screen here.

What this comes with is the body with a new mirror from Hasselblad themselves, an 80mm 2.8 planar lens with a shutter speed ring replaced by David Odess, a waist level finder, a split image focus screen, an A12 back complete with a dark slide, and an official Hasselblad lens hood for the 80mm lens. I’ll throw in a couple rolls of film for you as well if you decide to purchase.

I’m looking to sell for $1350 + $20 for shipping from Chicago Illinois. It would be shipped via USPS. US only. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Edit: just and fyi, the film has been stored in my freezer.

EVF review dimmer than LCD

hi guys

I did the latest firmware and I can't remember if it's always been like this or it's changed. when I take a shot and then review it on the EVF it's almost half as dim. when I do the same action and review on the back screen it's totally fine. I don't remember this behavior. anyone else have this?

A24’s Tony BTS [HP5, 80mm 2.8, Hasselblad 500CM]

BTS of A24's movie Tony shot on my Hasselblad 500CM in Provincetown, MA. I was an extra on set and shot 3 rolls of HP5 in between takes. No light meter, just had to eyeball it for the love of the game. Congrats to everyone involved, and if you do see it, be on the lookout for the gentleman walking by holding a Hasselblad and smoking a cigarette in some of the scenes.

Hasselblad 500cm A16 - 645 Film Back

Hey yall! I have a Hasselblad 500cm with a A12 film back, I’m looking at buying the A16 back so I can shoot 645, I’m calling local shops and checking eBay and wanted to know a little more on exactly what I need when purchasing, besides the actual A16 back, I’m guessing I need a different focus glass with the lines for 645? Also a different prism to make it less awkward? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

The case of the missing Hasselblad RGB icc profile. Phocus for Mac strikes again!

This isn't going to affect every one of you Hasselblad shooters out there, but for some of you, maintaining color space throughout your post-processing flow is important. It is also yet another jarring example of engineering sloppiness in the Phocus for Mac team that I'm pretty certain would not be tolerated by a team designing and building the cameras and lenses.

The short version: because the Phocus team clearly can't be bothered by testing their software, they mis-labeled the two Hasselblad RGB icc profiles that Phocus installs on your Mac. What it means is that if you want to be able to control your exports from Phocus and LRC in terms of color space, or want to soft-proof images in Hasselblad RGB colorspace in LRC before export, you can't. And ironically it's not all the icc profiles they provide that are mis-labeled. Just these two, arguably the two most likely to be of use to photographers.

Anyway, the post with more detail is here, and includes a link to a small script which will fix the two profiles. The script is completely open source, so you can go and see what it is going to do, and also has an "uninstall" rollback feature.

First hassleblad advice

Hey guys! I’ve been a professional photographer for around 6 years now and love all things photography.

I’ve started looking at a potential end goal camera to work towards, not for professional work, but for the love of it, and naturally I’ve landed on a hassleblad esc camera.

Now let me emphasis this is something I can’t afford anytime soon, but I’m looking for recommendations! What do people like using? What setups?

Focussing aids for multiple formats

Anyone here using a 500/200 series camera with 6x4.5. And CFV backs? Whats your trick for composing properly in 3 different aspect ratios?

I know of the Hasselblad part number 42264, which os a great idea but insanely expensive. Are the custom
Bright screens the only alternatives? Anyone can comment how good they are with critical focussing and if they throw off the PME meters.

At the moment i use masks. The Hasselblad mask for CFV is not bad but its another thing to lose. Lost it once already. Not precise for 6x4.5 neither.

X2D II owners: how good is AF-C in real-world use?

I bought a used X2D about a month ago and I’m really enjoying it. I absolutely love the image quality and the overall shooting experience.
The one thing I’m really missing is continuous autofocus.
I also own a Fuji, which I use when I need AF-C, so every time I go out I have to decide which camera to take depending on what I’m planning to shoot. It’s not a huge problem, but it’s definitely inconvenient having to choose between the X2D’s image quality and the Fuji’s autofocus.
I’m seriously considering the X2D II, mainly because of the new AF-C.
I know it’s not supposed to be on the same level as the latest Sony/Canon/Nikon systems, and I’m not expecting it to be. What I’d really like to know is how it performs in actual everyday use, rather than what the marketing says.
For those who have been using the X2D II for a while:
Is AF-C actually reliable enough for moving subjects?
How does it perform with people/kids walking or moving around?
Do you get a reasonable percentage of keepers, or are there still a lot of missed-focus shots?
Is subject/eye detection actually useful?
Does it work well in less-than-perfect light?
And, most importantly, does AF-C make the X2D II practical enough that you no longer feel the need for a second camera with better autofocus?
I’m particularly interested in real-world experience from people who have used both the original X2D and the X2D II, because I’d like to know how big the improvement actually feels.
Thanks!

Hasselblad and Astro

Hi Friends,

Has someone astromodded their Hasselblad x2d or x2d ii? Would you recommend doing something like that? I have two x2dii at home and think about modding one. But I’m not sure if it’s that smart of a decision. Would love to hear from y’all.
Even if you thought about it and chose against it!

Or other photographers who decided to do or not to do this with their cameras. Love to get some input from y’all!

Soon to be owner?

The last time I shot medium format was over 40 years ago (RB67). Now I find I have a renewed interest. I am considering the X2D II 100C and XCD 35-100mm as a starting kit. My initial focus will be landscapes.

I don't know what I don't know. My current workflow is with Canon, an R1 and R5 II. I use Lightroom Classic for 95% of my post work and only dabble in PS occasionally. Is there anything I have to know about taking a raw file from the XCD and editing it directly with LR?

Other than a spare battery (I have CF Express type B cards already) what are the 'have to haves' to go with the camera.

I would appreciate all suggestions. Thanks!

Used X2D 100C OR New X2D II 100C ?

Any who know from personal experience - do you think the X2D II 100C a worthwhile purchase instead of saving a few bucks on a used Gen1?

The autofocus capabilities and 10-stop ibis seem to be the main improvements. Did you feel a worthwhile dramatic step up in usability going to the gen2?

Maybe you feel putting the cost-difference savings towards another pricey lens is a more worthwhile than getting the improvements in gen2?
