The Hasselblad 500C/M, a renowned medium format camera made in Sweden, is a finely crafted model. This particular camera has a sleek black body and was manufactured in 1975, with the magazine dating back to 1976. The lens included is the *black-barrel Planar 80mm f/2.8, equipped with T coating. The screen is of the standard type.
The 500C/M is celebrated for its robust construction, a hallmark of Hasselblad cameras, and its excellent lens lineup from Carl Zeiss. It is a model that has earned significant support from our customers. The unique operation and mechanical sound of this camera enhance the experience, making it a truly exciting tool for photography.
There is some slight paint wear near the tripod mount, but overall, the camera shows minimal signs of use and retains a clean, well-maintained appearance. There are no noticeable dents or deep scratches.
In 2022, the camera was fully overhauled by a professional service. The overhaul included the disassembly and cleaning of the shutter, viewfinder, and winding mechanism, as well as the disassembly and maintenance of the lens and helicoid. Adjustments were made to the aperture and self-timer, and the malt plain were replaced, ensuring it is in top working condition and continues to provide smooth operation.
The view through the finder is clear, offering that signature Hasselblad sharpness. The lens is free from noticeable cleaning marks or haze, and the glass remains crisp and clear.
The A12 magazine shell and the last three digits of the serial number match, ensuring full authenticity.
This 500C/M is a reliable and well-maintained model that you can use with confidence. The camera comes with the lens cap included.
