   ITEM CONDITION:
  USED             YOUR PRICE:  $2,750.00


 
  • This is a Unique opportunity to acquire one of the best Hasselblad 503CX complete system guaranteed in perfect cosmetic and working condition.
  • The camera body and the A12 back (matching insert) were serviced and went through a CLA in March 2023 . They operate at factory specifications. This is a $650+ value by itself!
  • Service included a new light trap and nylon stop for the back.
  • The camera is now very smooth, a real pleasure to operate.
  • This camera system IS NOT sold "as is": The camera, back and lens are covered by our return policy.
  • The 503CX is a top model from Hasselblad, one of the best cameras they made. It shares many features with the 503CW and even has some the 503CW does not:
    • Shutter lock lever, allowing to keep the shutter for long exposures
    • Body cocked indicator window. Avoids locking mistakes
  • Like the 503CW, the 503CX is equipped with the TTL OTF flash metering, allowing fully automatic flash operations.
  • The camera was upgraded with the following options:
    • A Rapid Winding Crank, latest model
    • An Hasselblad PM5 45° Prism
    • A very desirable Hasselblad AcuteMatte 42165 Bright focusing screen in original box.This is a $250+ value
    • The AcuteMatte 42165 screen is much brighter than the original 503CX screen. It allows a more precise focusing and the thin cross-hair facilitate perfect composition.
    • A Late A12 magazine with matching insert in mint conditiona $400+ value
    • A Mint Carl Zeiss Sonnar 4/150mm CF T* in superb cosmetic and mechanical condition. Very late model, Serial # 80...
  • This camera has been kept as a backup by an amateur, not a heavy Pro user, only used a few times per year to keep it in good condition.
  • The camera has been maintaiued by Hasselblad on a regular basis.
  • The camera looks almost like new. One of the most important parts to check is the plate where the back attaches: when abused, you have light leaks. The plate of this camera shows no sign of use!
  • The included Carl Zeiss 150mm CF lens is incredibly sharp, with pristine glass.
  • This lens has been the favorite lens of fashion magazines and other high quality publications for 30 years. Much better than the standard 80mm lens.
  • All speeds, including slow speeds, have been electronically tested and are accurate.
  • The camera and lens have been tested with a digital back (PhaseOne) and are guaranteed to work with digital backs.
  • This camera system IS NOT sold "as is": The camera, back and lens are covered by our return policy and 30 days warranty.
  • The camera and lens have been tested with digital backs (PhaseOne and Hasselblad) and are guaranteed to work with digital backs.
  • We do not carry C lenses: they are too old, optically inferior, their maintenance is almost impossible as the parts have disappeared, their Compur shutter is unreliable and speeds inaccurate.
  • Contrary to what some unscrupulous sellers say, A24 backs do not work with 120 film (the only film available today).
