Hasselblad 500c Camera w/ Rare Split Prism Screen, 80mm, A12 Back -New Seals- [EXC]

This is the Hasselblad 500c, one of the most coveted cameras ever made. Who cannot love a camera whose body is made from a single piece of steel?

This camera is a true classic of industrial design with an iconic design that has changed little since it was introduced over fifty years ago (though there has been extensive refinement and improvement).

This is the classic design C. It comes complete with the 80mm f2.8 C lens, the A12 square back, the waist level finder, and the standard winder.

This one features a rare split prism focusing screen that makes for highly accurate and easy framing. I use a split image screen in my own Hasselblad and it makes a significant difference in the amount of my photos that are in perfect focus. The 500c focusing screen needs to be swapped out by a technician, so if you want the upgraded screen it’s better to get a camera that already has one.

This one is in excellent condition with light wear and works perfectly. The shutter is strong and accurate, the winding is like butter and the lens has smooth focus and clean clear glass. Our technician has replaced the light seals on the A12 film back, a $75 value. It has matching serial numbers and smooth mechanical operation.

The takeup spool, the darkslide, and a slip-on lens cap are included. This is a nice one.
