HASSELBLAD USERS GROUP - The Second episode.

[Axeleaf]

Welcome to All Photographers who Have , Had or would love to have an Hasselblad Camera .
The Group and the thread was founded in 2008 by Singscott and established 1000 postings .
We go henceforth from here in 2012 with earnest .

From Hasselblads earlier :- 'To Help Photographers Achieve Their Photographic Potential'

to the current :- " Taking Photography Further "

It would be extremely useful (I feel), is someone did list at least the current models and their selling prices (reconditioned ones too) would have been even better. In MF there is "only" Hassy and PhaseOne so the Apple to Apple comparison (for me) does come down to $ and c...

What I found so far from the previous discussion:

> H4D 40 with HV 80mm = $ 27,000. before 7% gst.
> H4D 31 with HC 2.8,80mm lens ( kit set ) is $18k .
> A used H3D 31 kit could be about $12k .

Heard mr. Wong of Fotografix Marketing is offering a new H4D31 with lens for $ 18,800 with gst .
And a second hand shop in Peninsula has a H4D40 kit ( USA version ) for $ 20k .
Also , David of P&G Adelphi has a H4D 50 body ( normally $ 42k) for $ 33k nett.
But , by the time you read this maybe gone already. . .

Hi Megahook, many thanks for the help. Its worthwhile to know how much one needs to save...

 

[zlimmer]

Actually , some of the HUG members do this if they are interested to buy in :-
They tell Denis or Pamela that they are interested to buy a H3DII 31 or H3D 31 for say $ 12 k or 9k respectively .
D and P will inform the existing owners of these older cameras and they have a chance to top up the difference to upgrade to the new H4D31 or H4D40 .
The Pre owned cameras would have a higher chance of being in good condition than the ones the owner sells to the 2nd dealers.
Its normally a win - win for all parties .
Shriro will assist but do not sell second hand .
They have the History and the connections for the cameras.

Yup. I am thinking of upgrading my H3D-39....

Just wondering if it is worthwhile to get a digital back, e.g. CFV39, CFV50 or the Leaf AptusII, to use with my V-System? I have the following:
503CXi body, CF T* lenses Planar 80mm, Makro Planar 120mm, Sonnar 180mm. I also have a 903SWC.
Any advice or sharing of your experience would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
Fred

CFV 39 already discontinued .
CFV 50 is about $ 22k before tax.
It should be a great buy since you already have the lenses.
A H4D50 is about $33k .

Sui. I like the way the view finder works and the pace of things. Quality rather than quantity. He certainly makes me feel like doing pictures again.
