Re: Hassies,worth anything? | |
They are certainly good for something, if they work as they should.
The problem with old, unused 'blads is exactly that they are old and unused.
Like a mechanical watch you have to use them from time to time to assure functionality, they dont like sitting in the dust for years. The same is true for the lenses. An unused C(F) lens would probably need the shutter serviced. The good thing is, there are a lot of service center which did and still do this.
For film users the Hasselblad is a great tool and a joy to use. I'd buy a couple of films and try them for a week or two, if you dont have the experience you might ask somebody in a camera club or photo store to examine it for you and give you the basics in Hasselblad shooting.
