Jul 9, 2005 · Posted July 10, 2005. I think also that the 500CM does have the shutter cocked and film advanced warnings on the body and back. The 501 doesn't feature these. I was going to get a 503 or a 501 but for 99% of what most photographers do, a 500CM with a little grey matter exercise will do just the same.
Jul 25, 2008 · <p>I am a Leica user since 35 years , I have had Hasselblads and Rolleiflexes SL66 and the Twin lens 3.5F , in the present digital world, the Hasselblad would be a easier system to maintain but the SL66 has certain special functions and image quality is very sharp than a Hassy, if you are not going to use the reserve lens function and tilt function, go for the Hasselblad.</p>
Jun 9, 2007 · Ed_Ingold. "The pin on the right is extended". This means the shutter release button is still depressed. On a 500cm, check the lever in the shutter release bezel. In the "T" position, it locks the shutter release in the depressed position. Once released, you should be able to wind the camera and remove the lens.
Jul 5, 2018 · Some years ago I had a 500cm that was prone to jamming as I removed my 150mm Sonnar (only that one lens, which worked fine on every other Hasselblad). Three times in the course of a year I was able to free the Sonnar and get the 500cm sorted by removing the gear cover in the throat, releasing the tension, then re-tensioning.
Apr 16, 2015 · Hi, I recently acquired an old Hasselblad 500cm with some lenses (all CF 80, 50 and 150mm). I've noted that when I set a lens onto the infinity setting and look through the viewfinder at a distant object, the focus is a slightly out.
May 25, 2003 · Looks just like the barn door on my 500CM did after it "double fired" or was "bumped" on the winding knob. The condition is repairable and will involve at least a bent spring replacement. There may be other things wrong with the body, but these won't be known until your repair person has a look.
Oct 2, 2018 · Each item has an intrinsic value ceiling that 99% of potential buyers will not go beyond. A very clean good-working 500cm body only (no lens, back or finder) typically fetches $400 at most: even with a $300 repair certification from David Odess you aren't going to find many takers at $700.
May 11, 2004 · 1.6k. Posted May 12, 2004. I have both a 500 (80/150mm) and Rolleiflex 2.8F and find the Rollei to be a much better shooter. The focus throw on the Rollei is short and precise. I have found it impossible to focus the Hassy quickly; the focus throw on the 80 is huge. I also find the Rollei far easier to handhold and still get sharp pictures ...
Nov 16, 2006 · I am looking into buying a Hasselblad 501CM or 503CW (or CX). I used to own a. 500CM before it was stolen, so looking for replacement. I already have 80mm CF. lens and just looking for camera body, A12 back and possibly a prism to go with. Since, the used price of these camera has gone down quite a bit I was thinking. to upgrade to 501 or 503.
May 7, 2021 · These late 500C bodies have newer internal mechanics more like the 500CM than the original 500C, but not as new as very last 500CMs with the palpas coated rear flaps. Good Hasselblad service techs would routinely update parts per Hasselblad service bulletins, so some 500C bodies can have newer internals than the outside would indicate.
